Trip Sheet: Found here

Parking: America the Beautiful or NW Forest Pass

Guests: If spots are still available one week prior to the trip, email Tom or Jeff to request that a friend or sibling be able to join.

Land Acknowledgement: We will be recreating on the lands of the Pacific Northwest Indian Tribes, including the Nisqually, who live here and steward these lands and waters as they have since time immemorial. The Seattle Mountaineers Youth Clubs encourage you to recreate mindfully and respectfully on our upcoming trip to these native lands.
