Title: Mount Rainier Glacier overlooK 8am
Post by: Site Master on September 24, 2021, 03:25:33 PM
It's time to visit Rainier before the road gets closed.

The plan is to do this trail then over to Glacier overlook (1.3miles extra), Then maybe a little further towards the wonderland trail ?

I always love the drive south
 



And I made it , with only 30-40 minutes of sleep
 



the moon was crazy bright
 



Shadow Lake was doing a great job mirroring the Shadow of the mountain ;D
 


The moon was still crazy bright at the lake
 



I made it to the destination, without my head blowing up. Infact my BP stayed great for the trip.
 


This hill should of triggered it.

Normally we would of went to Wallys but I was tired and drove to Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in, because you know deep-down I enjoy being this heavy  ::)
Really though, I just enjoy bad food too much  ;D

The road up to Sunrise offers such gorgeous views!

 Shadow Lake (does it get it's name from how it shadows the mountain and the moon?)

The short walk from Sunrise camp ground to Glacier Overlook was a little steep, but pretty short and well worth the walk.  What amazing views!
