Tolmie Peak Lookout - Eunice Lake — Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2016

Mount Rainier Area > NW - Carbon River/Mowich

Gorgeous hike. You'll see many of the major Washington peaks on this trail. Just a couple of pesky flies, otherwise bug free. Road is rough but passable for all vehicle types. Got to the trailhead at 9:30 and avoided the afternoon crowds. A nice cool breeze greeted us as we approached the lookout. Eunice Lake was emerald green. There are some steep sections as well as some tall steps on this hike, but the payoff along the trail and at the summit makes it all worthwhile. Bring plenty of water and enjoy the journey.
