Glacier Basin Loop — Wednesday, May. 28, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River
Broken bridge

Attempted to get to the Emmons Glacier Overlook but the bridge to cross to the moraine is currently out (see image). Glacier Basin is still snow covered but hikeable ~ would recommend gaiters and microspikes as it is slushy and posthole-y past the  overlook spur. Drier and hotter than usual so definitely bring water and sun protection as well ~ there were a lot of mosquitoes and flies, but also several species of butterflies in places. No ticks yet.
