A spectacular first time visit to Spray park. Left Seattle at 6:30 --- arrived at the Mowich trail head at 8:30. A very nice 2 mile, flat ridge traverse first leads to Spray falls....a nice stop for a snack or water fill up. The trail then heads up through a series of switchbacks before settling down to a gradual entrance and traverse through Spray Park. Given the time of day (and time of year) the sun was just behind Rainier --- so while we could see it --- we were a bit blinded by the light.
Fall foilage was beautiful, saw a bear munching blueberries, had lunch and then returned to the trail head arriving at 2:00.
A return visit is definetly in order!

This Hike says it’s closed before the lake. Are you saying that is in accurate?

Correct...that is inaccurate. You can drive to the lake parking lot.
