Kelly Butte — Monday, May. 28, 2018

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Looking up at the lookout

Road is open, not closed. Directions are mostly correct. No hike name is at the start of the hike. Signs are lacking in general. It is illogical that people with dogs still collect the mess and preserve it in littered plastic bags, idiots, even here.

Great hike, perfect weather. Great views, 360 degree clear view, mountains in every direction, amazing.

Sounds of shooting everywhere, not good.

Trail hike was harder than I thought it was going to be, narrow trail.
Poles were handy going across the snow. Trail is sometimes hard to see when going across the snow. Quite busy. Lots of wild flowers.

Totally worth it, surprised me how good it was.

This is one of the reasons I love hiking at Rainier. No dogs allowed on the trails.
