We'll cover a range of paces for both CHS 2 and CHS 1 paces. There are sections of this trail that are fairly rocky, so good boots will be helpful, and definitely plan on rain gear; this area in March is frequently pretty damp.
We'll meet at the Tibbets Valley P&R (1675 Newport Way NW, Issaquah, WA 98027) at 6:45 am to combine and carpool to the Little Si trailhead. For those meeting at the trailhead, please be at the Little Si Overflow parking lot (47.4878, -121.7573) by 7:30, we'll start hiking as soon after that as we can.
