Glacier Basin, Emmons Moraine — Thursday, Sep. 12, 2024

Mount Tahoma day!  The weather guessers predicted clouds for most of the day. We started hike in a misty sprinkle at 9 am. 
Parked in the climber’s parking lot in the campground, trail is clearly marked at the far end of the campground. 
We hiked the Emmons moraine trail on our way out, also clearly marked. Crossed a small wooden bridge and up a sandy switchback to get over the ridge to lake, mountain and glacier views. If looking for a shorter hike, this could be a great 3 mile adventure. 
Clouds rolled back in for our hike to Glacier basin. The trail is in great condition. We saw many mushrooms, a marmot, a deer and an American dipper, one of my favorite birds. 
Clouds swam by to provide more views at the basin. Wonderful hike, not crowded, with surprisingly good weather, friendly hikers and a pristine trail.
