Skyscraper Mountain, Sourdough Ridge & Shadow Lake - Sunrise Camp Loop — Sunday, Aug. 4, 2013

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River

We introduced a good friend to the Sunrise area today. The wildflowers are spectacular! The snow patches on the Wonderland from Frozen Lake to Skyscraper are all gone now. The big snow patch on the Wonderland trail (the "back way" back to Sunrise) is still there and packed down enough to be super slippery. Because I was wearing somewhat water-proof pants, I chose to slide down! Cool temperatures and a nice breeze kept the bugs manageable.
