Leave the Goodell group campground at 7am for a one hour drive to the trailhead. We'll likely stop in Marblemount for the post-hike meal (or at least a milkshake). Parking is quite constrained at the trailhead and the road is pretty cratered. Important to carpool with a high clearance vehicle.

Details of trail conditions will be included in the "Hello Hiker" email and after the hike is scouted the first week of August. Beforehand, the WTA trip reports are a good resource for reviewing hike details.
