Glacier Basin — Thursday, Sep. 8, 2022

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River
Footbridge to Moraine Trail

Decided to try the often busy Glacier Basin trail after Labor Day. The trail wasn't busy. Only passed 16 people on my way down. As noted, the trail is very wide so it's easy to pass even when you pass a hundred people on the way down. 

We are at that middle place right now where there are only a few flowers left and only a few of the plants are getting their fall colors. After a few freezes things will get very fall like. 

It was also just over 40 degrees when I started at 8:30 and was over 70 when I got to the car. 

Just a little over a month left before this area will close for the winter.
