Mount Rainier Area > SE - Cayuse Pass/Stevens Canyon

We went today planning on playing in the snow. Last time we were up (about 3 weeks ago) there was so much snow snow. Today there was none. Our 5 year old was very disappointed. So instead he decided to try his first hike (he hates walking). We made it about a mile into the hike when we decided to head back. The only thing more annoying than the buzz of the flies was his whining. He did get to sled a little bit in what was left of the snow. The trail was pretty clear from what we could tell. A couple of trees to climb over but completely doable. And what is left of the snow is easily passable with just trail runners.
