Spray Park — Sunday, Jul. 11, 2021

Mount Rainier Area > NW - Carbon River/Mowich

Went with kids (16,11,8) and they survived but was a little tiring for them. There actually was parking at noon on a Sunday and the trail wasn’t too busy. The road is slight washboard, but the potholes that were there a couple months ago are filled in. No snow until you get to the top, and even then is mostly off trail and patchy. We had no problem walking across the small amount without spikes or anything. We saw a bear walking around, but he didn’t mind us. Tons of avalanche lillies blooming, and at the top you can find some others starting, like Indian paintbrush. Wear waterproof shoes since the melting snow made the trail wet in spots, otherwise you can just turn around a little sooner at the top.
