**Trip Details:**

Join me and my son (eleven years old) on this route to Heather Mountain. I have keys for the gate so we’ll start our hike at the end of the logging road (more or less). I have authorization to take one vehicle but I’ll expand the trip if we get more participants that also have authorization.

The route follows a winding boot track through low alpine meadows to the alpine summit. With luck we’ll make it back before the rain hits in the mid afternoon.
[Estimated automotive expense rate](http://islandmountainramblers.com/driver-compensation/) calculated from Park and Ride on highway 18: up to 2 passengers $30.30 (each), 3 passengers $23.53 (each). These are the estimated rates for a larger vehicle, the actual rate may vary. Drivers of more efficient vehicles should ask for less.
