Burroughs Mountain — Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River

I arrived at the park entrance around 8:45 AM. Took me about 25 minutes to get the pass. By the time I arrived at the Parking, it was almost full.

Trail is steep from the start. There were some areas where trail was flat but mostly it was steep. Trail is mostly rocky &you have to watch your steps when going uphill. Views alongside are Amazing. Once you get to the top, the view of Mount Rainier is AWESOME. Chipmunks are determined not to leave you until they get something. (I have to share my Granola Bar with one of Chipmunks as he was not leaving me alone).

Definitely not recommend for kids. Saw some families brought their kids, who look tired. I think it was too much for them. 

On my way back, @ the Park Entrance there was a Looooooooong line of cars waiting to get the pass. If you are planning to visit. I recommend leave early in the morning.

Giving them food just reinforces the behavior and makes them more aggressive.. 🤦🏻‍♂️
