Burroughs Mountain, Shadow Lake - Sunrise Camp Loop & Sourdough Ridge — Saturday, Aug. 22, 2020

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River

We camped overnight at the park and were at the entrance gate to sunrise/white river by 9:30 AM . The wait wasn’t too bad, 10-15 minutes. But holy crap so many cars at the entrance gate when we were headed out around 3!!!! Make sure to enter the park early!! 

We hiked a loop starting at sunrise, going up to second Burroughs, and then back down to sunrise camp/shadow lake.  Beautiful day on the mountain, no snow remaining on any of the trails we did. Very exposed so bring sunscreen, a hat, and lots of water. 

Sadly we saw no marmots in any of the meadows :( I’ll have to go back to paradise where the ranger said they are abundant
