Entered in on 8/23 out on the 8/31. 96 miles give or take a few depending on what book or where you get info. Started at white river to indian bar camp. There was snow after leaving summerland up thru the gap and in places down to indian bar. Trail easy to follow. A very cold night at camp..one of the most beautiful places at Mt Rainier. We went from indian bar to maple creek camp..trail in good cond, very easy to follow. Maple creek was one of all of our fav camps..warmer (lower elev), easy water, no bugs. Went from Maple creek camp to lonmire(we stayed the night at the lodge) and got our caches. Great weather for the first 3 days. From longmire we went to devils dream camp, low mile day but allowed us to sleep in and eat a big breakfast. Trail in good cond, alot of bugs at camp, water was easy... right by camp. There were a few sick people here at camp, one we helped into camp..he was going to turn around in next morning and head back to longnire. Went from devils dream to klapatchee park camp. The trail from devils dream to klapatchee was in good cond, alot of elev gain and loss, hard work this day. Camp at klapatchee was was beautiful..very, very windy and cold. We got our water from saint andrews lake, vs aroura lake.. no outlet. We went from klapatchee to golden lakes..trail in good cond. camp at golden lakes was nice, it rained on us and was a very cold night, water at lakes. Golden lakes to mowich camp ground, trail in good cond. This was by far the coldest night ..frost in the morning. We picked up our caches this day..were very excited for them. Went from mowich to carbon river camp, trail in good cond. alot of travel in this camp to and from toilet, water etc. a few bugs here. So we only got rained on 1 day ( night) Next morning went from carbon river and were scheduled to camp at granite creek..but we decided to hike the rest of the way out. went from carbon river camp, to sunrise for burgers and then from there back to white river. Trail from carbon to granite creek was alot of hard work alot of elev gain. from granite creek back to white river trail good and great views. Saw a bear at sunrise, close to sky scraper pass. All bridges are in so no ford rivers.
The trail overall is in great shape. Alot of the camps were not full, talked with a ranger and they said alot of people drop out, etc. Word on the trail was a resident bear at mystick lake and alot of bears at sunrise camp. All 4 of us had a great times, struggles and where able to see so much.
