Skyscraper Mountain, Skyscraper Pass — Saturday, Sep. 13, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River
Avalanche to the right below the rainier pick. Left of the clouds.

Great hike and great day for it. It was clear and good air quality despite a nearby fire. Climb to the peak requires little scramble at the end but nothing too hard. Very few people attempting this trail as most from the visitor center are going elsewhere. We had the summit to ourselves for an hour we were there. Also got to hear an avalanche and see it rolling. Saw the herd of goat travel from the top of the meadows towards Berkeley camp.

Note: it seems WTA has the elevation gain wrong. The skyscraper pass shows 1700 ft. and skyscraper mountain shows 1300 ft. It should be other way around. 

mountain goats!
