Join us on an easy walk along the high cliffs, as we weave in and out amongst the draws with views spanning miles, a horizon decorated with the silhouettes of Adams and Rainier, and the serenading songs of coyotes and Canadian Geese. Well hike for as long as we like to a pretty vantage point and dine in the dark. Expect 5+ miles and very little elevation gain. Please come prepared with a headlamp and extra batteries. The wind atop the cliffs could be chilly; bring plenty of warm clothes, gloves and hat. Cookies & cocoa are required!
