Trip Report

The time of our hike was unique. It was an evening hike beginning at 3 PM and ending around 5:30 PM. The weather cooperative at a breezy 65 degrees. None of the participants had been on the Thurston Trails from the South entrance by Quartz Park. All seemed to enjoy the spring evening hike.

The July Bulletin is online now.
