Plan for an early start, meeting at the trailhead no later than 7 am. Carpooling is encouraged.

You can find a hike description here: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/granite-creek-road-trail 

We will travel at a CHS 1 pace (1.5-2 mp average), taking breaks as needed. Plan to stop at the lake for a longer break. 

After the hike, those interested can join together for a meal at the Gaslamp in Issaquah: https://www.gaslampbarandgrill.com/ 

I highly recommend the Cobb salad! 

Will send more information out with the "hello hiker" email a few days before.
