Burroughs Mountain — Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River
Early hikers wait for the bear

I didn't actually hike this trail today, only passed by as I headed down the Wonderland trail from the junction at Frozen Lake. But I noticed people were stopped on the Burroughs Trail because of a bear foraging up-trail. This was at 7:20 AM, and I watched and snapped photos (from a long way away) for about 10 minutes. When I passed through this area again around 12:00, other hikers I met said traffic had not been held up for very long. But I could still see the bear up on top of Burroughs, just no longer close to the trail.

Bear spots something yummy
Always on the lookout
Must be some good eats up there
