The general plan is to meet at one of the I-90 park and rides, then carpool to the trailhead for an 8AM boots on the ground.  Details will be sent in the Hello Hiker email.

Weather permitting, we will have great views from the lookout.  We can also look forward to wildflowers.   Recent trip reports should tell us if bug spray, hat, or jacket would be good to have.  That info will be shared in the Hello Hiker email.
