Stride & Geocache with Pride: Point Defiance Park Hike

Join us for a 3.3 mile relatively flat hike in Point Defiance Park in Tacoma. We'll also geocache along the trail! We will meet at the Rhododendron Garden, do brief introductions, and then get going. This hike is perfect for beginners as well as those with hiking experience.

We'll hike rain or shine or cold- the trees do provide some protection from rain but please come prepared with raincoat and layers.

We will meet at the Rhododendron Garden entrance - look for the Queer Mountaineers pride flag.

Meeting time: 10:30 am
Planned hike and geocaching start time: 10:45
