Naches Peak Loop, Dewey Lake — Saturday, Sep. 10, 2011

Mount Rainier Area > SE - Cayuse Pass/Stevens Canyon

We had wanted to take a visitor to Sunrise today but the parking lot was full and they were not allowing anymore cars to enter the Park at 11 this morning. Instead we headed for Chinook Pass. The Naches Peak loop was putting on a remarkable wildflower display. We hiked to Dewey Lake for a swim, and found some ripe blueberries along the upper part of the Dewey Lake trail. A fair number of mosquitos were out--worst by the lake.
