June 20th/newest update: the hike will count for CHS2.
Please note: since both hike leaders have big long hikes the day before, we will lead this one as a relaxed/fun hike with more opportunities to take in the view and social. That said, we do have 10+miles and 4000' of elevation to cover, so we will still hike at a solid pace. Depending on road and route conditions, we will check out the Tatoosh ridge and possibly the peak too, either as a traverse or out-and-back. More information closer to the date.
TBD - depending on road conditions closer to the date, we may do this either as a traverse or an out-and-back.
