Spray Park — Monday, Aug. 10, 1998

Mount Rainier Area > NW - Carbon River/Mowich

The hike up to Spray Park was not too crowded. The trail was dry and dusty. Bugs were not too bad. I have seen worse. Flowers were still to be found in the park and a very friendly family of marmots were there to greet and entertain us. Rumors of bears were to be heard from fellow hikers, but not seen by our group. Mt Rainier was a beautiful sight and posed regally for many pictures. It was hard to leave and come back down the trail.
