Mount Catherine — Wednesday, Sep. 5, 2018

Took my friend on her first hike today! Although today was a bit hazy, and the view of Mount Rainier was quite obstructed, this was still a very nice hike. The road up is filled with pot holes and dry creek crossings, so I would definitely recommend a higher clearance vehicle. The trail itself is in excellent condition, and is very easy to follow. A moderately steep hike with a great payoff. The view at the top is beautiful, even when it is hazy. It looked like most of the huckleberries had already been picked, but there were still a few sweet ones left.
