Hidden Lake Lookout [Hard-ish]

## Fluff

The Hidden Lake trail is one of the crown jewels of hiking in Washington State. No other trail offers so much as Hidden Lake Lookout: forest, wildflowers, a true alpine environment of stark granite well above treeline, breathtaking summit views of the heart of North Cascades National Park, and a fire lookout with a sweeping history almost as big as the mountainous landscape it gazes over.

## Logistics

I'm experimenting with a new app! Please feel free to give it a try, but this is not mandatory. I'm just evaluating it for now. https://links.getoak.app/tourDetails?eventRef=82iJ30wf6KDjV97mBx03

Please commit to your RSVP, as space is limited. If you can't make it, please change your RSVP ASAP.

Everyone will go to the waitlist by default, and I will add riders as drivers become available. It is your responsibility to check your waitlist status, and to remove yourself from the waitlist if you can no longer attend. The total cap is 12 people. Please answer all RSVP questions so I can get accurate headcounts for each location.

• Drivers, please comment that you are driving and how many you can take, as well as your meeting point (Green Lake P&R or a sensible East Side P&R)

• Riders, please reply to these comments if you'd like to join a driver.

• Eastsiders are free to self-organize a carpool (Eastgate or Ash Way are popular P&R options) and meet us at the coffee shop

• Please avoid going directly to the TH, as this can often lead to us missing each other

Gas will be $20 per person for a car of 4. Be sure to pay your drivers ASAP before or during the trip!
