Grand Park via Sunrise — Tuesday, Sep. 16, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River
Mountain goats in Berkeley Park

Took the long route to Grand Park, from Sunrise instead of Lake Eleanor, to see what's happening in Berkeley Park.  And we weren't disappointed as there was a herd of 30 or so mountain goats.

The wildflowers are done in Grand Park, but I managed to take a photo of the last mountain aster (I like to pretend).  

It was a windy, sunny day.  We spoke with a ranger who said they were turning people back on the trail to Fremont Lookout due to the high winds.  Later in the afternoon, it calmed down a bit.
