8/17/23 Update - Not really a recommended summit due to new "Preferred Plan" with "sensitive" areas of park, along with varying topo maps regarding whether park is in the AZ...
Sunny day in North Puget Sound, and was able to leave a bit early from work. After mentioning wanting to do a quick SOTA, KV7DX suggested Good Copy Hill... since it was close to my home QTH, and relatively quick hike. I've tried activating Good Copy Hill in the past, by approaching from the South...but there is not a good access point. Use Heimer road, and follow directions below to access.
Directions:
Pinnacle Peak W7W/KG-126 – 2 points - May 9, 2013
This seemingly easy-peasy 2 point summit is right in my big backyard. The trailhead is about a mile from the Enumclaw Starbucks. Buzzed out on coffee the popular trailhead was found on the north side of Cal Manussun Park which is part of the King County (WA) parks system. Myself, Pat WT7N, and her brother Mike set out to have a nice walk in the woods.
