Trip Report

Kelly Butte — Friday, Oct. 7, 2005

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Susie and I met TM and we headed up....the avalanche gully has a new rope(thanks!!!!) Someone has been lopping on the trees that intrude into the trail (thanks!!!) We zoomed up to the lookout....we brought a broom and shovel with us and spent a few hours cleaning the inside of the lookout. We were rewarded by seeing a group( gang? Posse? gaggle?) of mountain goats on the cliff edge to the southwest of the lookout. Kelly needs some help to go on living....we enjoyed the smells of the subalpine and even got to see a few late blooming asters, paint brush etc....
