Everybody looking way too excited for an early morning start that had us leaving home in darkness so we had enough time to complete the hike in daylight.
Good morning Mt. Rainier! Our first of many views of the mountain.
Gavin disapproving our short diversion out to see Spray Falls. It wasn't really worth it since the flow rate was pretty low.
See? Not much to look at. Probably would have had a slightly better view by climbing upstream a bit.
Waabam! Spray Park just smacks you in the face with its beauty.
Unfortunately bugs must also enjoy the view so we kept our stops here relatively brief. The bugs were thankfully only a minor annoyance since they weren't…
Casually strolling through a beautiful mountain meadow with Mount Pleasant in the background.
Looking back at Hessong Rock.
