Green Lake — Friday, Oct. 20, 2023

Nice fall colors and tons of mushrooms from start to end. From the parking lot, it's an easy flat hike on the old road. The Green Lake spur is where all the elevation occurs, but is reasonable. Ranger Falls is a nice pitstop on the way up and it's sounds are present for a good stretch. I had Green Lake to myself and ate lunch. This was my first time to the north west of Mount Rainier NP and was very quiet. I had no issues parking on a Friday and maybe saw 10 other people the entire time.
