Hike 7/24 Sunrise Rim Trail - Mt. Rainier
Despite leaving Everett at 6:00am, we arrived to a full parking area at Sunrise
Clear skies and good air quality today, much better than some previous days
Typical crowds on the trails
Looking out to the northeast from Sourdough Ridge
Rainier's Emmons Glacier is most prominent in the view from Sunrise
Frozen Lake, the water supply for Sunrise, is alarmingly low this summer
Signpost on the Wonderland Trail
Birdsbeak Lousewort
Nice wide smooth trails throughout this area
Shadow Lake
Rainier peaking over a ridge from Shadow Lake
Loads of lupine in bloom
Playing hide and seek with the Mountain
Snout of the Emmons Glacier, where the White River emerges
Helicopter was flying supplies from a trail work project at a backcountry campsite
Temperature were comfortable, peaking around 70 in mid-afternoon
This is why the trip was full at 6:02 the first day of sign-up!
Fascinating trail sculpture
