Spray Park — Thursday, Sep. 3, 2020

Mount Rainier Area > NW - Carbon River/Mowich

Beautiful day trip up to Spray Park. Arrived at Mowich at 8:45a. Lots of cars, but plenty of parking and few people. Trail up only saw around 6 people. Trail in great condition. Absolutely bluebird cloudless sky made the views absolutely spectacular. Could see Baker from several areas near Seattle Park. Bugs in the upper meadow were ok when moving  or when I could catch a breeze but made a feast of me when stopped. More people coming up as I descended, but by no means crowded. Lots of good lunch spots open. Wildflowers were beautiful! Took the spur to Spray falls which was worth the detour. Last quarter mile back up hill to Mowich was a little tough on the old quads, but a cool soak in the lake eased the sore muscles.
