We will be traversing the ridge on Rattlesnake Mt. and WTA has a great description here.  

Let's meet at 7:30AM at Tibbets Park and Ride in Issaquah. From there we will take 3 cars to Snoqualmie Point Park (our starting trailhead) off of I-90 Exit 27. We will drop off some hikers and then use three cars to drop off two cars at Rattlesnake Lake (our ending trailhead).
