Location: Mt. Rainier National Park, on the northeast side of the mountain/park.
Accessibility/Parking (Volkswagon Golf or Jeep Cherokee): Trailhead was right off the main road.
Challenge Level (1: A female in her late 20’s in decent shape thought it was easy as pie to 5: Gonna need a forklift to help me finish this): 3, this was a pretty moderate hike but has a 2100 elevation gain and is 8.4 miles round trip.
Overall Rating (1: Wouldn’t recommend 2: Bleh 3: Fun but wouldn’t do it again 4: Loved it 5: A favorite, must plan return trip immediately): 4, as nice as the hike was I’m not sure I would do it again due to the many other enticing attractions the park has to offer.
