Creation Care Hike

Creation Care: Let's Take A Hike!

Join St. Patrick community members on Labor Day, September 6th for a
day hike through maple, cedar, hemlock, and Douglas-fir on the well maintained Margaret's Way trail near Issaquah. Pit toilet at the trailhead, no
other amenities or water. A busy out and back trail, our goal is to hike for
~1.5 hours outward up a gentle slope (possibly to a viewpoint), have lunch,
and return to the trailhead. 

Mindful of our carbon footprint, hikers have the option to use Metro's Trailhead Direct Service (every 30 minutes). From Mount Baker transit center, we aim to catch the bus departing at 8:44 AM, arrive at Margaret's Way Trailhead at 9:12 AM. We'll aim for a return trip departing from the trailhead at 2:12 PM, arriving back at Mount Baker station at 3:22 PM. Adult bus fare: $2.75 each way.

Options:
  a) Get to Mount Baker transit center on your own by 8:34 AM (light rail, bus, other);
  b) Meet at Elaine Clark's home by 7:55 AM to catch #48 bus to transit center;
  c) Meet at Margaret's Way trailhead by 9:15 AM. 

Bring in your backpack: Mask (required on the bus), Water (a quart or more); Close-toed shoes or hiking boots, Hiking poles (optional); Ready to eat lunch and snacks, Rain gear, layered clothing, First aid items, Sun protection, Container for your trash. 

Let Elaine Clark or Jo Anne Felton know of your intent to participate. Contact Jo Anne at jofltn@yahoo.com
