Hikes out of Dayton will have WW participants meet w/Dayton and TriCities hikers at historical railroad ‘Depot’ museum in Dayton for carpooling. The group will leave 1 hour after Walla Walla meet uptime.

Bring walking stick, tick repellant, hat, mask, lunch, water and a few dollars for driver. Dress appropriately in sturdy walking shoes or boots and, depending on terrain, long pants.
