Trip Report

Edith Creek Basin Snowshoe, Panorama Point Snowshoe & Glacier Vista Snowshoe — Saturday, Mar. 27, 2021

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise
Glacier Vista

We did a loop ski tour of Glacier Vista, kind of skirted around Panorama Point, went toward McClure Rock and took a break before descending near the Van Trump monument and came out via Edith Creek. We idea was to avoid crowds. Mission accomplished!

The snow is VERY heavy and wet. Kind of impossible to ski so it just turned into a mellow tour day. Snowshoers were also struggling with the heavy snow, most of it balling up or collecting on the bottom of the snowshoe. 

Wet loose activity everywhere. & Where there are tees, there are tree bombs 

This loop- 5.5 miles and 2000 feet of gain. We know this area well, always use GPS

Giving up near Edith Creek 😂
Tree snow bombs were real
