Mount Baldy via Domerie Divide Trail

## Details

Lets hike Mount Baldy via Domerie Divide Trail. 7.4 mile out-and-back with 3,182ft elevation gain.
This trail is a steep climb, followed by a scenic walk along the side of a mountain ridge to the summit of Mount Baldy. There is 2600feet of gain in the first 2.6 miles so definitely bring trekking poles unless you are comfortable hiking without it.
On a clear day we could have beautiful views of Lake Kachess and Lake Easton, Mount Rainier, Glacier Peak, and the Enchantments. Trekking poles are recommended to help navigate the steep and rocky terrain.
We will first meet at the Issaquah transit center at 7 am and figure out the carpooling.
