Meeting place and time

Drive SR-410 6 miles east of Enumclaw, turn right onto Mud Mountain Road, and drive 2.5 miles to the Mud Mountain Dam Recreation Area.  We will meet at the trail head at 7:45 AM geared up and ready to be on the trail by 8:00 AM.  Members to coordinate carpooling amongst themselves.

The pace is listed as 1.8-2.3 mph, but we will adjust to trail/snow conditions and a pace that allows conversations.  Should the weather and or trail conditions work against us, we will discuss  and agree to alternatives as a group.  Other than personal bio-breaks, we will stay together as a group within speaking distance of one another.  Our plan would be to spend no more than 15-20 min. at the end of the trail, rest, and enjoy a snack, prior to returning.
