Although this is can be a long drive for those who live in Tacoma, it is a really nice hike and I always use this as a time to visit the cities of Edison, La Connor, or Mount Vernon after. We do have to meet early due to limited parking at our meeting site.
Meeting time: 7am
Meeting Place: Oyster Dome trailhead on Chuckanut Drive.
Carpooling: Up to the comfort of the participants; use the website to contact other participants. I unfortunately cannot carpool this day.
HIKE DETAILS: Typically going to Oyster Dome and back is a 6 mile trip but we will also hike around the top of the mountain for a bit to make it an approx 8 mile trip.
