CHS 2 Hike

Field trip: Conditioning Hiking Series

CHS 2 Hike - Ancient Lake

CHS hike led at a CHS 2 pace (2.0-3.0 mph). A long drive from the Seattle area, but this Eastern Washington hike is totally worth it! We will travel through desert area, past basalt walls, around lakes, and see a waterfall. It is one of my favorites!
