Kautz Creek Snowshoe — Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015
Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise
A more detailed trip report of this adventure can be found at the link below. The Kautz Creek Snowshoe is a bit of a slog as you hike for more than 6 miles before getting any real views. Once you reach an elevation of 5000 ft or so, though, a gorgeous vista reveals itself. This section of Mount Rainier National Park is a beautiful winter wonderland, and I'd love to come back for an overnight and explore Indian Henry's Hunting Ground. We started from the Kautz Creek parking lot around 9:15am and were back at the car around 7 hours later. There's a link to the GPS map of our route below.

Love the snow and clouds in the clearcuts in the third photo. Sounds like a good day and a great workout.

It was a haul, but really worth it. I'm just glad we saw the sun a few times!
