There are no public facilities available at the trailhead. You can either use the public restroom in Index or I often will stop at the McDonald's in Sultan.
We will meet at the Heybrook Ridge kiosk at 8:30 am ready for introductions and some preliminary information. Please plan to arrive by 8:15 am to put on your boots and anything else you may need to do. We will stay together and hike as a group.
