Meet at the Tacoma Mountaineers Program Center at 6:30pm.
Bring your gear to this session as a final step to prepare for the trail! You have learned the basics, now it's time to put your skills to use by packing your pack, feeling what it's like weighted down and asking any questions you may have. We will take a short practice hike up the hill near the Tacoma Program Center.
