Owyhigh Lakes — Friday, Aug. 22, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River
Columbine! Such a rare sight

It took us over 2 hours to reach the lake, after many berry snack stops. The meadows are lush with pasqueflower, asters, lupine and daisies. Clumps of bog gentian closer to the lake.

We met 3 other hikers and 1 deer. Clambered over 1 fallen tree about 2.5 miles in.

We enjoyed the solitude of this  hike and the coolness of  the forest was a welcome respite from the heat. Happy hiking!
