Mount Rainier Area > SE - Cayuse Pass/Stevens Canyon

The trail is all but snow free and the flowers are out. Plenty of other folks up her, though, as it seems there is still a dirth of snow-free trails. Bugs were a bit of a problem, but not nearly as bad as in many other mountain areas, this year. This continues to be one of my favorite, relatively easy hikes, and wonderful for taking out-of-town guests.
