This is my first time on this trail. It looks magnificent, leading by a few lakes and mountain ridges. It will be a long day of driving and hiking. You MUST be in a great shape. (If you did Tatoosh with me, you're ready for this!) I appreciate folks, who in the past, have been reliable, considerate, and can help facilitate these adventures.

PLEASE BRING:

• plenty of water -- 3-4 liters minimum depending on temperatures
• lots of nutrition (lunch, snacks, etc.)
• change of clean shoes for the ride back
• appropriate hiking shoes/attire + trekking poles
• sunscreen
• BUG spray (there may be flies/mosquitos)

Donations to drivers $35 (exact -cash- is appreciated). This will cover 346 miles of driving. Drive time will be approximately 2.5 hr from Hayden Island -- I'll look up a location.
