Mount Walker — Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023

A sunny break in the Long Grey meant a quick trip to enjoy the vistas from north and south viewpoints, which did not disappoint!  Rainier had a stack of rectilinear clouds launching, while the snowfields on Baker shimmered in the sun.  After our snows and winds I figured there would be a few trees that had dropped across the trail but was surprised to find not a single one, so carrying the saw just functioned as training weight today.  The snow line on the inner peaks looked to be a good 1-2,000' higher than Walker.
