June Hikes: 3.5 to 6 miles, 400 to 1,500 feet gain - Lily Lakes

This trip will take a good chunk of your day. Do not plan anything for the rest of the day as we will take our time and enjoy the scenery and the spectacular views at the summit.  More information will come closer to the day of the hike.

Trip Goals:

• To build endurance and conditioning 
• That we have fun, rain or shine
• To complete a 6-mile out and back hike to Lily Lake and North Butte

Trip Expectations: 

• That you're on time at the parking lot prepared and ready to be social and engaging.
• That we stay together as a group (to see one another at all times) and build community and trust with one another. 
• That you prepare for this hike, with sufficient nutrition, hydration and stamina.
• That we treat one another with respect, compassion and understanding.

Trip Style: 

• I'm an inclusive leader: compassionate and approachable
• While destination focused for this walk, I also appreciate nature and pointing out the beauty that we see around us.
• I'm a leader who appreciates engaged participants where teamwork and community are priority
• I am firm and definitive with logistics and my expectations, yet willing to provide flexibility if the situation allows

I acknowledge that the Southern Salish Sea Region lies on the unceded and ancestral land of the Coast Salish peoples, the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Puyallup, Skykomish, Snoqualmie, Snohomish, Suquamish & Tulalip tribes of the Puget Sound Salish People. We honor with gratitude the land itself, The First People-who have reserved treaty rights and continue to live here since time immemorial- and their ancestral heritage. -    I encourage you to look further than a land acknowledgment and engage in education about the region's native history.
