Arrived at the White River day use parking area at 10:30 am. Plenty of parking spots available. The restrooms are closed - but there are vault toilets open in Loop B of the campground.
We always enjoy the Glacier Basin trail. It's a wide trail with a gradual uphill. There are small waterfalls along the way. If you don't want to do the whole trail - just before the turn off for the Emmons Moraine trail, there is a great view of Mount Rainier.
The only wildflowers still blooming were pearly everlasting and some fireweed. The fall colors are just beginning. We saw 2 bucks on the trail and only a handful of other hikers. At the Glacier Basin campsite, there are 2 toilets that are still open.
