The adult volunteer leader on this hike is Peter Clitherow. Meet at the the trailhead at 8:30am. This is a somewhat discrete trailhead (Talus Trailhead), approached through a residential neighborhood on the eastern edge of Cougar Mountain. Note: there is very limited parking, perhaps 5-6 spaces. Plan accordingly!
Please sign up for carpool here.
See trip sheet for details.
Guests: If spots are still available one week prior to the trip, email the adult trip leader to request that a friend or sibling be able to join.
