Adding Thursday this week as we have Rake-A-Thon on Sat....

This one’s pretty simple: Birch to Alder+ out n’ back all along Wildwood. Rolling trail with Birch being your main climb at the end (we will go just beyond Alder on WW to make it an even 5miles all together).
Total miles: 5

The route
View the route on AllTrails.
Want a shorter option? Do an out-and-back on Wildwood to 53rd/Keil Trailhead for about 4 miles total.

Where to meet
Meet at the Birch Trailhead off NW 53rd. As with any trailhead, practice good car hygiene and mind your valuables.

What to bring:

- Headlamps! It will be dark!

Afterwards
Group kudos and home!
