QUESTIONS?   Denise323@me.com

Come join us as we go explore the Foothills Trail in Pierce County on May 16! We will begin meeting around 11 AM at Legendary Donuts in Orting. We’ll enjoy a coffee and a snack for an hour and then head out on the trail promptly at noon. We are excited to connect with like minded individuals and explore this beautiful trail. We generally travel around 5 mph, which is generally the speed of the slower wheelchairs.

We will head off from Orting heading northeast for about 12 miles to Buckley where we generally enjoy Wally's Drive in for some delicious food. If 12 miles is more than you'd like to ride, we will have a shuttle that could pick you up at the 3 mile mark or the 7 1/2 mile mark. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Denise Smith-Irwin will be leading the ride and you can direct any questions to her email Denise323@me.com
