Glacier Basin, Burroughs Mountain — Wednesday, Jun. 28, 2023

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River

Arrived at the White River Campground at 9:15 am on a Wednesday.   There were 2 spots left in the parking lot.   Restrooms are open.

We hiked up the Glacier Basin trail and then headed up to 2nd Burroughs.   So many wildflowers are blooming!   We walked through a meadow of yellow glacier lilies.   There were a few small patches of snow.   Just before reaching the top of 2nd Burroughs, there is a larger patch of snow.   Stay towards the bottom of it and the path quickly reappears.   Had 2nd Burroughs all to ourselves - not even any chipmunks running around.
