Nisqually Vista Loop — Saturday, Jan. 3, 2009

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise

After getting some really good sledding in at Paradise, my family and I went out with one of the Park Rangfers and about 20 other folks on a snowshoe walk along the Nisqually Vista Trail. There was a ton of fresh powder, and animal tracks really stood out. We were out for about 90 minutes, and while we did not go all the way to the Vista itself, it was a fun and educational experience. We walked about a mile and a half in all.
