Trip Report

Glacier Basin, Emmons Moraine — Thursday, Jun. 19, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River

The Glacier Basin Trail was effectively snowfree up to about 5500'.  Thereafter, up to the Basin, most of the trail (mostly the old miners' road) was snow covered and hummocky, though presenting no particularly serious problems to folks with hiking poles.

The bridge over the Inter Fork on the Moraine Trail was in and excellent. The couple of switchbacks ascending above the bridge to the crest of the moraine were eroded, leaving much of that fairly short section of trail quite sketchy.  It needs some TLC from a trail crew.  The rest of the trail was in good shape.
