Jr MACers and chaperones will meet at the trailhead at 8:30am. Driving directions: 

From I-90 in Issaquah take Exit 17 (Front Street) and head south on Front Street through the old part of town. At the south end of town, Front Street changes names to Issaquah Hobart Road.3.1 miles from I-90, turn into the large graveled parking area on the left adjacent to the paraglider landing field. In 2014, a center turn lane was added to the road making turns much easier. Portable toilets may be available at the south end of the parking area. There is no regular source of water here. This side of the field is King County land, and it is not necessary to display a Discover Pass. There is no posted time limit.

Brief hike description: Expect some great views of Mt. Rainier and possible paraglider sightings on a clear day. check out what the WTA has to say about the trail.  https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/poo-poo-point-chirico-trail
