Skyline Trail Loop — Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise
Keep an eye out for lots of carefree marmots

Hiked the Skyline Trail for the first time. Yeah here were A LOT of people for a Thursday. Luckily things died down a little after Panorama Point. We opted for the High Skyline trail and lost the bigger groups we had been surrounded by before. The trail is in great condition, but make sure to follow signs on the High Skyline trail. There’s a few snowfields to cross, make sure you have on the proper footwear and choose a good path so you don’t sink down and get hurt. It was a lovely hike, just lots of people on the .5 miles stretches on the ends of the loop.

Lost the trail for a second, it matches up with a glacier melt channel
