Field trip: Conditioning Hiking Series
CHS 2 Hike - Perry Creek
This is quite a lovely hike up through a Forest Service natural research area so it's basically undisturbed and full of waterfalls, wildflowers, meadows, fabulous views (and maybe a bear or two). It's located in the North Cascades off of the Mountain Loop Highway and shares the same parking area with the Mt Dickerman trailhead. CHS hike led at a CHS 2 pace (2.0-3.0 mph)

We will meet at 7:30am at the Ash Way Park and Ride in Lynnwood (more details to follow).
Just a heads up that there could possibly be a challenging (but very doable) river crossing which will be determined by how much runoff and flow is passing through by that time. Also there is a slight chance we will encounter snow on the trail as we approach Forgotten Meadows.
