| Ride Description: |
| This will be a mostly flat Sunday morning coffee run along the Foothills Trail, starting at the East Puyallup Trailhead off 80th Street. There are two hills, one short and the other long (approx 2 mi) but it's a gentle climb. The reward is a coffee break and a long easy downhill return. The trail runs through farmland and the town of Orting along the Carbon River, becoming a tree-lined pathway up to South Prairie. If the weather cooperates we should have some nice views of Mt. Rainier.
Ride Leader will have a Cascade sign on his little pickup for easy identification at the trailhead.
Bathrooms or portapot at the start and along the route.
Directions to start: From SR-167 and/or SR-512 take the SR-410 exit. Then take the Orting/Sumner exit which is SR-162 and turn south towards Orting. Turn right onto 80th Street East after crossing a small bridge and go about 1 mile. The trailhead is on your left. |
