Tolmie Peak Lookout - Eunice Lake — Saturday, Aug. 2, 2003

Mount Rainier Area > NW - Carbon River/Mowich

Trail was plenty busy for a Sunday afternoon. Hiked past Eunice Lake onto Tolmie Peak Lookout. Great views from up there. Passed a couple of Park Rangers that were very friendly. Saw a few people swimming in the cold waters of Eunice Lake as we were looking down on the lake from the top of Tolmie Peak. Tons of beautiful wildflowers in bloom. The bugs weren't too bad. An occasional gigantic horsefly every now and then. I think the horseflies were part of the American Red Cross and were trying to get a donation of our blood. But they had no luck on us...... LOL Happy Trails!!!!
