When we arrived at the parking lot around 8:00 a.m., there were only a few spots left. There are several potholes entering and exiting the lot, but they are manageable.
It was clear out, and the trail was in great condition! There are a couple of muddy spots, but other than that, there are no major obstacles or snow. We had poles, which helped us navigate some rocky steps. Some of the wildflowers were blooming for the first half-mile of the trail.
We reached the peak around 10 a.m., so we were above the clouds in the sun, and Mt. Rainier was in full view. By the time we got there, a lot of people were resting at the top. It seemed like the perfect day to go!
