Spray Park — Saturday, Jul. 25, 1998

Mount Rainier Area > NW - Carbon River/Mowich

A belated Spray Park Report but for a reason. An excellent hot weather hike as there is a fair amount of shade on the way up and Spray Falls to cool you off. We drank the water from the stream at the bottom of Spray Falls and two weeks later...no ill effects. It doesn't all have Giarrdia! Be prepared for mobs of families and little kids that love to do nothing more than trip other people on the trail and get in the way. The Horrible Ron [Online editor's note: Not all people show symptoms when they haveGiarrdia. Some people are simply carriers spreading it around for others to enjoy. Readers are reminded to make their own decisions when itcomes to whether or not to filter.]
