HY Social this month, Boulder Falls hike!
Last month we had a great time rock climbing at StoneGardens. Checkout the pics at http://students.washington.edu/hyuva/2009/04/rock-climbing-pics/. What’s in store this month ?
As announced earlier 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!
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.

We will leave by 8:30 am after distributing directions and food supplies. If you show up at 8 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 especially if its a high clearance vehicle. All lenders to the pool will be reimbursed for fuel. You are highly encouraged to donate a reasonable amount of $10 to our organisation 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!
