We headed down to Mt Rainier on Saturday with Markus and Evelyn. We drove a new route and realized that it takes less than 2 hours to reach the north side of Mt Rainier from our home. We met at Tipsoo Lake and hiked 3.5 miles on the Naches Loop Trail by Chinook Pass. It was drizzling in the morning and the fog was thick. We got lucky as the fog thinned out and we enjoyed beautiful views throughout our 3 hour hike.
Charming little Tipsoo Lake in the background. Man in foreground, not so much…?
Plenty of wild huckleberries along the way. They were small but sweet!
Lunch spot with Dewey lake in sight
A very pretty spot with this unnamed lake
Back at Tipsoo Lake. We made it!
After our hike, we drove about a half hour up to Sunrise Visitor Center but the fog rolled in and we only caught a few glimpses of Mt Rainier. As Will puts it “More reason to come back!”
Tea time at Sunrise Visitor Center. We then headed home while Markus and Evelyn camped out at White River campground for the night.
