CHS 1 Hike - Sauer's Mountain

This trail starts  on private property and has very limited trailhead parking (~12 spaces), so we'll aim to be at the trailhead by 8:30-8:45 am. Exact meeting time and location TBD, but it's between 2 hrs 10 min and 2 hrs 40 min. to the trailhead from N. Seattle, so anticipate an early departure in the  6:00-6:15 range. The hike will be limited to 8 people/2 cars so please be comfortable carpooling with 3 other people. 

This is one of my favorite early season hikes because it has both wildflowers and views.  The trail is described as a "birding and botanizing paradise." It begins on private land where you'll enjoy fun art and quirky carvings on tree, before it climbs steeply and enters a national forest. 

We'll grab a bite to eat after the hike either in Leavenworth  or on Hwy 97, depending on which route we take to the trailhead.
