We'll meet at the Ash Way Park & Ride (6327 Ash Way, Lynnwood WA, NB I-5 Exit 183) at 7am. At the P&R we'll carpool as needed and drive about 70 miles to the Lost Lake parking lot (48.647913361505, -122.48661834297909), off Chuckanut drive. 

Total distance will be a bit over 13 miles and we expect about 2500 feet of elevation gain (and loss); the elevation gain is consistent throughout the hike with a lot of ups and downs, making for a challenging day and a solid leg workout! Expected time on trail should be a bit over six hours. We'll stop for lunch near the beautiful Lost Lake.
