Sourdough Ridge, Burroughs Mountain & Sunrise Rim Trail — Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2023

Early morning start this day up to Burroughs 2 via Sourdough.  The fog blanketed the valley on the way up, but the sky cleared as I reached the Sunrise view point, and I could see Mt. Adams in the distance.  Saw one mountain goat just below the ridge on my left before Frozen lake.  Opted not to go on to the third Burroughs this time and enjoyed coffee on the stone bench at the top of 2nd with incredible 360 views instead.  Headed back via the Sunrise rim trail departing to the right from first.  Enjoyed the views of the Emmons glacier, its turquoise runoff lake below, and of Sunrise from a new perspective (to me) from there.  Still wildflowers in the meadows heading back to the parking lot past Shadow Lake.
