Day Hiking: Mount Rainier

What are the best day hikes around Cayuse Pass? What lingering impacts have storm damage left on the mountain, and to Rainier hikers this summer? What's so great about Silver Falls Loop, Tipsoo Lake and Panhandle Gap?

Day Hiking: Mount Rainier, by guidebook author Dan Nelson and photographer Alan Bauer, was released by the Mountaineers Books last month. Now is your chance to meet the authors and get their picks first-hand. These seasoned daytrippers spent much of the past few summers exploring the mountain, and  using stunning imagery and well-earned trail knowledge, they'll give you a grand overview of all that the mountain has to offer.

We were touched when we opened the Mount Rainier guidebook last month and noticed the authors dedicated it to Greg Ball and Ira Spring, "trail champions whom we proudly called colleagues, trail companions, and friends." We feel the same way exactly.
