Activity Notes
This climb on the SE edge of Mt. Rainier National Park offers some spectacular views of the mountain, or so I'm told.
The plan is to leave town Friday (if you can go earlier to get a campsite, that would be helpful), and camp near the park. We should plan dinner somewhere along the route or at one of the places near the Park Entrance. That will likely depend on when you leave town.
Saturday morning, we'll start climbing early from the Nisqually entrance. Not quite an alpine start, but not leisurely. We'll climb, look, descend and return to Portland Saturday evening.
