Shriner Peak — Tuesday, Sep. 10, 2024

Quick solo day trip. At 10 am, only 2 cars in parking lot. In Tacoma area it was cloudy, but eastside of MRNP was mostly sunny. Left TH at 10:!5, arrived at lookout 12:35. Beautiful views of Rainier, St Helens, Adam, and Hood. Gorgeous clouds of various kinds in bright blue sky. Campsites up there are beautiful, nice privy, the only problem is there is no water. Left peak at 1:00 pm, back at car at 2:40 pm, jogged what sections I could. I saw no bears. Lots and lots of huckleberries and wild blueberries. I saw 7 people all day, it was the perfect hike to clear the mind and soak in the views.
