Mount Rainier, as seen from the trail
With a nice day in the forecast, we decided to hike from the Sunrise Visitors center to the Mount Fremont Lookout. It was a wonderful day, wonderful hike, filled with flowers in bloom and wildlife on the trail. The hike itself was not very difficult. The gradual sloop of the trail made it easy to manage. Many other hikers of all ages were out on the trail with us and there were plenty of Park Rangers and volunteers to provide help and information. It was a very enjoyable hike, with the mountain playing peek-a-boo in the clouds on the way up to the lookout. As we ate our lunch there at the lookout, the clouds blew away and the mountain showed herself in all her spender and beauty. It was a Great day for a hike.
