Be advised that this group is intermediate to advanced.
We will meet at the Albertsons off S. Federal Way to leave at 8:30am for those that wish to carpool or drive up together: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QwqTreJGu662MQqX9
If you have a time constraint, I suggest you drive direct or car pool with those who plan to leave right away.
Based on experience level, you can follow groomed trails or follow those who seek off trail adventure! I cannot guarantee a group will remain on groomed trails.
Those seeking adventure, we will start from the parking lot on the West side and hike straight up the hill, off trail. We can meet those who decide to hike on the groomed trails at half way point. To be reviewed before we start.
If you want to meet at the Gold Fork parking lot, aim to arrive no later than 10:15am. https://maps.app.goo.gl/FkfABV4pBU7DpCWN8
There is no cellphone service past Idaho City. The goal is to hit the marked trails by 10:30am.
Bring your gear, water, snow apparel, and food.
This is not a guided event nor will gear be provided.
If you want to have fun, hit the trails, get a great workout, and meet new people, then come along.
Cheers
