Years ago, in 2003, (has it been that long??) when we had first moved to this area, Ford and I checked out The Glacier Basin Trail at Mt. Rainier NP early in the season. We had been turned back by snow maybe a mile short. Mostly due to me postholing so bad I was lucky [...]

Ford and I took Walker up to Sunrise for his first time yesterday. We left rainy cold weather behind as we drove higher towards Rainier. The last 1,000 feet of elevation gain was in a thick cloud, one of those go 2 mph’s as you cannot see in front of you and on a cliff….but [...]
Would Heaven Be Grand Park?

I have a bias – it is that I love few places more than I love Grand Park in Mt. Rainier. I have been there three times and I hope in my life I will go there many more times. Even in those three times I have seen so little of it. It is so [...]

With the still melting snow out here our choices of easier ‘family hikes’ is limited so we choose Silver Falls Loop, a hike out in the Ohanapecosh area of Mt. Rainier NP. It is a hike we often due in late spring (it melts early) but this year the falls were still thundering even in [...]

Jared and I had talked over a couple hikes with visions of grandeur that were promptly smacked down due to the ever lingering snow levels here in Western Washington. Even a week of higher than average temperatures couldn’t blow it all out. Oh well! So we decided instead to just make miles and get some [...]

Hopefully the 4th of July weekend was good for everyone – though that means most of us are back to work today! With Western Washington still in the throes of freaking winter our options for hiking have been well noted as being minimal. On Saturday Kirk and I took the boys out for an easy [...]
A Stroll Along The Carbon River

Kirk and I took Walker for his first trip to Mt. Rainier NP on Sunday (with big brother Ford as well!) This is the entrance to the Carbon River side, the end of the road and the start of the near 5 mile road/trail walk along the river and through the rain forest. Rainier decided [...]
Circling Tahoma – In Search of Fall Colors
Posted in hiking, photos, Trip Reports, tagged dayhiking, fall colors, hiking, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Rainier NP on October 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Weather wise there isn’t much better than right after the first snow storms of early October blow through – and the sun comes back. I woke up this morning before dawn and knew it was the day to do the ‘loop’ around Tahoma. Stevens Canyon Road had been fixed so why not? Who knows what [...]
