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 8am 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 8:30, we'll start hiking as soon after that as we can.
