Dege Peak — Saturday, Jul. 16, 2016

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River

Sunrise parking lot looked full from Dege Peak around 11:00 am Saturday. Wildflowers are beginning to bloom. We hiked to Antler then Dege Peak and waited for the clouds to clear. When they didn't, we opted for a wildflower scavenger hunt heading along the peak across the ridge up to Frozen Lake and then down to Sunrise Camp. A snow field remains in the bowl just below the lake. My husband actually approached some people taking selfies in the meadows and told them to get out of the meadow and stay on the trail, so unlike him. Total trip 7.75 miles. We saw a few mountain goats too!
