CHS 2 Hike - Margaret's Way to Debbie's View

The steady climb up Margaret’s Way is on a well-maintained, forested, and very popular trail. At the top of Margaret’s Way, we will turn onto the Chybinski Loop trail and take a brief detour to Debbie's View to check out the view of Mt. Rainier (weather dependent). We will then complete the Chybinski Loop and return to the trailhead via Margaret's Way.

Make sure to bring your rain jacket and the rest of your 10 essentials. To check the weather on the day of the hike: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.5301&lon=-122.0326

Bring a snack/light lunch. We will take short breaks, but since this is a relatively short hike, we will not take a traditional longer lunch break.

We will meet at the trailhead. Please be ready to hike at 7:30 a.m. (so get there a little early to change shoes, use the outhouses, etc.). 

Directions to trailhead:

From the stoplight drive 3.2 miles and turn left at the easy-to-miss driveway with a large blue Cougar Mountain Recreation sign. The large parking lot is straight ahead.

No parking pass required. Two outhouses at trailhead.
