CHS 2 Hike - Navaho Peak

We will meet at 6:30 a.m. on the east side of the first floor of the Issaquah Transit Center, located at SR 900 and Newport Way, Issaquah, WA 98027.  Note that the parking entrance is just south of the Eastside Fire & Rescue Station 72 located at 1575 NW Maple Street, Issaquah, WA 98027.  

From Seattle, take exit 15 off of I-90 E.  Turn right onto WA-900 W/17th Ave. NW, then turn left onto NW Maple St.  Turn right at the first street (unmarked), pass the Fire & Rescue Station, and then turn right into the covered parking area.

A Northwest Forest Pass is required to park at the Stafford Creek trailhead.

We will start our hike by walking along a babbling-burbling stream, passing through pretty, fragrant pine forests, gradually climbing higher, turning right at a junction to continue on through brilliant dry-climate gardens, then ascending the "Serpentine Barrens" and on to Navaho Pass.  Here, we will follow the trail eastward and upward to the 7,223 foot summit of Navaho Peak, with mountain views for miles and miles and miles and miles....
