Campsites
at the 4500 ft high White River near Sunrise were first come, first
served, so we felt optimist as we headed there that we would get a
site – mistake – glorious day 25oC, weekend! So we were not
hopeful as the Ranger said there were only a few sites left and we
were quite big! We went round loop A and C then as a last resort
looked up B loop and there was a small pull through. Not a pull
through for us though, Roy shunted and backed and after about half an
hour we were in!! What a driver my man is - a couple walking past
said A+ for that – there was no way he could have got in there!
Hope we get out – still that's another day.

We
drove the ten miles up to Sunrise, at 6400 ft, and planned which
walks we would do. Mt. Rainier looked amazing in the late afternoon
sun but as the name suggests this area is best at sunrise – we had
contemplated getting up to see it at sunrise but Ranger lady said we
would have to be at Sunrise Point by 5-15 – I don't think so.
