We went in via FS RD 59 to Glacier View trail. Go right at the junction, stopping at Goat Lake along the way, then getting to Rainier Border, then up to Lookout. Trail is nice and easy to follow, very peaceful going along beljica meadows, back into the forest, lots of up and down on this trail. We were so EXCITED to reach the LO! Weather was changing constantly and we hung out up here for over an hour watching the clouds go in and out and wondering if we would ever get the full on shot we wanted. But it was almost better not, more dramatic and mysterious looking with just pieces of mountain showing at all different times. We ate and laughed and shot LOTS of photos. The best saying was "BUT LOOK AT THE MOUNTAIN NOW!" We finally decided to head down and the girls said let's tag george lake too, i thought about that up, but when are we doing to have the chance again, so we cruised downhill all the way. It was a quick decend. The lake was green/blue gorgeous and the shelter & cabin were really cool. We filtered water and rested then headed back up and back the way we came. Long day but worth every step.
