Another hiking post! This one was from the past weekend, it was perfect weather for a hike. Braulio and I hiked the Summerland Trail in the Sunrise area of Mt. Rainier (NE of the mountain). It was about a 5mi climb in, eventually coming to some wildflower meadows with lovely vista points of the mountain.

This first picture shows some rocky crags like you never see in the Appalachians ;-)

We were climbing up through a bit of a ravine.

Creek! With a very narrow little bridge.

Crossing the bridge takes skills.



Ta-da! Mt Rainier. It doesn't look nearly as imposing in the picture as it did in person, but I swear, its enormous. And very snowy.


Maybe I'll climb it one day?
