This is a CHS 2 pacing hike.  We will hike up the Margaret's Way trail to Debbie's View, where we will take about a 15 minute snack/rest break, before returning to the trailhead the same way.  Along the way we will demonstrate mostly CHS 2 pacing, but we will do some portions at CHS 1 pacing as well.

We'll meet at 9am at the Margaret's Way Trailhead, just off State Route 900 south of Issaquah.  There are sani-can restrooms at the trailhead.  No parking pass is required at this trailhead.
