Folks we were planning to goto Otter Falls but the roads that lead to the trail are closed. so we have decided to goto Boulder Falls instead! Please check out the pics!

Summer time in Seattle is a valuable piece of time. You got to go outdoors. This month we have arranged for a hike near Boulder river. Akshay and myself went last weekend to check it out. Its a flat trail (which means we won't be exhausted after taking 5 steps) and not too long. The trail is surrounded by old trees covered with lots of moss growth. Looks beautiful in a strange way. We plan to cover it in the sunshine and hence plan to leave early morning and come back by evening.

Let's meet near my place(address listed below) and plan to leave early morning at 7:30 am. If you show up at 7 am you will get a refreshing cup of hot tea as well :-)

We will be car pooling, so if you can bring your cars for the day that would be cool. BTW the last stretch of the road that goes to the Falls is not in the best condition. I was able to drive my Passat to the trail head but if you have a high clearance vehicle please bring it. Otherwise we can park it a bit further from the trailhead and just walk a little more :)

We will be providing water and food as well. Food includes lots of fruits and trailmix. Feel free to bring anything else you may need. If you do not have a vehicle, transportation will be provided as well. If you have a vehicle you are encouraged to pool it. All lenders to the pool will be reimbursed for fuel. You are highly encouraged to donate a very reasonable amount of $10 to our organization to recover expenses.

Please take a look at http://www.mountaineers.org/seattle/seahike/hikers/gear.html . Other than that you might want to bring your swim wear!
