WEEKLY WALKING GROUP

Next Walking Group is:

Monday January 21 –

at 9:00 am

January 21 – Easy! Pickering Trail and, if the trail is dry enough, through Lake Sammamish Park. Easy flat walk on paved and dirt trails. There will likely be some slightly muddy sections that we will try to skirt around. If the trail is looking too bad we will retreat to a paved path (more street noise but no mud). 3-4 miles depending on the route we end up walking. Park at Pickering Barn: 1730 10th Ave NW, Issaquah, WA 98027

See the attached map for parking details.

On January 14 we enjoyed another invigorating (if a bit chilly) 3 mile walk around Klahanie. While we’ve been amazingly lucky with our Monday morning outings, the weather looks like it could be changing to a wetter pattern later in the week. Please make sure you are on our email list so you are notified if we have to cancel the January 21 walk.

Come join us!

January 28 – Winter - HIKE – More Challenging! Let’s head back to Lakemont Park and walk the trail connecting Lakemont Park and Lewis Creek Park. The 3.5 miles urban hike is on paved paths, good dirt trails and wide gravel paths. Hills. Coffee Klatch after the walk at the Lakemont Starbucks.

February 4 – Easy! Rainier Trail loop starting at Issaquah Community Center. Mostly flat walk on paved, dirt and gravel paths. Approximately 4 miles.

NOTE: Tentative walks have been outlined in an attachment to the Montly Newsletter. Be sure to check it out and sign up at the meeting or contact one of the coordinators listed below.

All walks are "Weather Permitting". The plan is to walk every Monday. However, due to weather conditions, there may be changes to the planned walk or the walk may be cancelled if the weather is too bad.

Please make sure you are on the Walking Group email list. Only those on the Walking Group list will get notified if a walk is cancelled due to inclement weather!

Also we ask that you let us know if you think you will be joining us on a particular walk so we know who we are looking out for at the trailhead.

Thank you for your interest and support!
