Meet at 8am at 37th and "A" Avenue in Anacortes. No toilets at trailhead.

There still might be some lingering muddy spots, so gaiters might be appreciated. Trail is best described as rolling with two short gains of 200-300 feet near the beginning and end.

Many places in Anacortes to grab a post hike meal or explore the tulip fields in the Skagit valley.
