PCT portion of route closed due to Wildcat fire. We opted to do an out and back going counterclockwise from Tipsoo Lake to the main viewpoint area and back.
Got a good view of the fire, including flames peeking over the distant ridge. Smoke wasn’t too bad on the west side of the ridge, but did make for a mild haze that limited clear views of Mt. Rainier
Blueberries are ripe.
