Mount Rainier Area > SE - Cayuse Pass/Stevens Canyon

We hiked this trail as was to be very easy and scenic. It was quite easy, although my friend had a little bit of trouble at the beginning, during the ascent. We did follow the trail in a clockwise direction as the description suggested. If it hadn't been cloudy (rained in the morning), we would've had great views of Mt. Rainier. Neither of the other two hikers were up for going the mile round-trip down to Dewey Lakes, so we didn't. We didn't see any wildlife (except butterflies), although we did see deer tracks. We didn't see any huckleberries, but blueberries were plentiful.
