The Plan is to meet at https://www.google.com/maps/place/Heather+Lake+Trail/@48.0806699,-121.7853592,2538m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x549ab59737b7c603:0xccedd882fc632c64!8m2!3d48.0828422!4d-121.773847 at 9am
Then decide on weather conditions if we go to the top or do one of the lover walks

don't forget to bring all the passes, im reading mixed reviews on what one is needed



 
I know I'm going to fail but will you  ;D

All reviews of the road leading up to the trail say you need a vehicle with ground clearance.
So Car Pooling is going to be a must.  Laura said maybe we can stage someplace close?

This walk is going to kick my ass, but it is totally going to be worth it.

Looks like its about 2000ft on the vehicle, and about 2000ft on foot to the top of 5299ft
Very challenging indeed


 

Site Master:
I never realized Heather lake and Lake 22 where next door to it.
They might be a spring walk.

KJ7GKS:
Since the last part of the road to the trailhead is not so good for cars, we could carpool part or all of the way.  It looks like the last Park & Ride location from here to there is 101 E Pioneer St in Granite Falls; this is still 45 minutes from the trailhead.  We could also just carpool the whole way.  We'll have the Suburban, so we can fit 6 pretty comfortably.  Ryan and I should leave our house between 7am and 7:30.

K9JEB:
The day is open, but I am not sure my knees can handle this hike... on a scale of 1-10 where 1 is walking up the street, what rating is this one (including difficulty to get to trailhead)...
