Our meeting/carpool location:

We will meet at 8:00 AM at the Winco in Northeast Vancouver - 11310 NE 119th Street, Vancouver, WA 98662. This is at the corner of 117th Ave (Hwy 503) and 119th Street on the way to Battle Ground. If you are coming from Portland, taking 205 to Padden Parkway to 117th Avenue North can sometimes be faster. Directions 

Walking speed:

We will go the speed of the group, but I am aiming for 2.0 mph. If we do it right, we should hit the high point of the trail for lunch.

Exploratory:

This is a new trail for the hike leader, so bring your attitude of adventure!
