We recommend hikers stay near the trailhead the night before the hike, as it's a 3-hour drive from Seattle.  Your leaders are staying in Packwood, and there are camping and other lodging options nearby.  This will be a long day!   

More info to registered hikers in the Hello Hiker email.

We'll meet at the trailhead at 6:45 am; boots on the trail at 7:00 am.
