Planning on meeting at the Tibbets Park & Ride (exit 15 off of I-90) leaving at 7 am for an approximate two hour drive via I-90 and Blewett Pass to the trailhead.
Trail is firm and dry with only a couple small creek crossings. Might need to climb over a few small trees. Grade is gentle and smooth, averaging about a 300/ft per mile climb.
Pit toilet at trailhead. Likely take a quick stop enroute in Cle Elum for coffee and bathroom break. Group meal in Cle Elum on return trip.
