HIKING IN MT. RAINIER

FROM SUNRISE POINT BEFORE OUR HIKE

We had a fabulous day doing the three Burroughs mountain trail, hiking 9 miles around Mt Rainier, clear blue skies and hot sun with outstanding views of this amazing active volcano. It felt as if you could almost reach out and touch the mountain.
We had left the car park at 10am and got back after 4pm and the whole world seemed as if it had been here – car park was overflowing – but that's what I love about hiking – get out on those hills and you can always find your own space – even though there were many folk out hiking.
NOT OFTEN WE ARE OUT HIKING AT 10am AS SHE HOISTED THE FLAG AT THE VISITOR CENTER

Roy had a visit from the campground host when we got back – he said he'd had lots of people coming to him saying how cool it was that we had got the trailer in this space, so he had to come and see for himself....I hope he's around when we have to get out!
