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 ?

Post by: RyRy on September 25, 2021, 04:59:55 PM: 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.
