Puget Sound 45+ Active Singles

Let's either carpool or meet at the trailhead by 9:30am: 47122 SE Mount Si Rd, North Bend. Credit to awesome WTA site - From I-90, take exit 32 (436th Avenue SE). Turn left (north) over the freeway and drive 0.5 miles to SE North Bend Way. Turn left (west), and in 0.25 mile turn right (north) on SE Mount Si Road. In 2.9 miles (past the Little Si and Mount Si trailheads), you will reach a 118-car paved parking area on the left. A Discover Pass is required to park here. Restrooms are available at the trailhead.
Here's all about the hike: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/teneriffe-falls
Bring your daypack with whatever water and nourishment you'll need for the hike. Yet also save some appetite for us to eat together at Twede's Cafe in North Bend (https://www.twedescafe.com/) before we all go our separate ways. I hope it goes without saying, but each person buys their own lunch.
Let me know if questions :)

Join us for a morning hike great for birding and exploring wildlife. The hike has the the potential to be about 4 miles. There is a restroom at the trail head and picnic tables. Pack a snack, water and your binoculars!

Please meet up at the trailhead and be aware there is limited parking. An Albertson's just up the road might be a place to leave your car and catch a ride with someone else. We will leave that to your discretion.

Address:

### 4001 224th Ave NE, Redmond

From the WTA site:
Evans Creek Preserve features a WTA-built trail system in an ecologically diverse enclave. Wetlands, meadows, and hillside forest can be found in this 179-acre farmstead-turned-suburban nature preserve that will thrill both the hiker and the birdwatcher. Not only that, this gem has ADA-accessible trails and is reachable by public transportation.

Let's meet at the trailhead at 9am. Those who would like to carpool can plan ahead to do so. From Washington Trails Association site, here are all the details on how to get there and what you can expect:

Let's not plan to eat together at any restaurant afterwards, rather be sure to have your daypack with water and food you'll need for the hike.

For those comfortable doing so, once we are at the lake, a dip to cool off from our hike could be refreshing.

Who can say no to the incredible music and dance options available at our Puget Sound's music festivals? And the Bite of Seattle is a fun one because of all the different food to try!

Then there's the fountain to run under and get soaked, only to dry off within minutes in the sun. Okay, not everyone would be keen to do the fountain.

Those who are interested, we can meet west of the fountain and then venture off to the various music options.
