left the sunrise parking lot at about 10 a.m. hit three small snow packs just past frozen lake. Poles/ice ax are a good idea but not essential. as we crested the 1st Burroughs there was a large group of goats at the top. hit another snow pack while ascending the 2nd Burroughs and two more small ones on the way up to the 3rd Burroughs. Had the peak to ourselves. Ate lunch while in awe of the glaciers and Mount Rainier. Went back via shadow lake, kind of a bummer after being on the 3rd Burrough's 7800+ ft peak.
