[pct-l] hiking in Seattle area

[Ann Urick]

it rained on me. I've been trying to find someplace close that's good  
for training (the lake crescent area of olympic national park that I  
use now is about two hours) but the only part of the park I'm familiar
  
with is the north and northwest sections. I figured the rainshadow  
would be a good location but I don't actually know any hikes that way.

If anyone in Seattle is doing training hikes and wants some company,  
let me know
   
  You can go to Mt. Walker (Olympics)- even if it is only 5 miles round trip, there is a 2500' elevation gain in 2.5 miles
  Grey Wolf trail
  Dungeness trail - not much elevation but mileage
  Heather Meadows - just before you get to the Olympic National Park gate.
   
  I'll think of some other ones. The Pope forest is close to my home so that's where I have been going.
   
  Ann-no trail name yet
