Trial to Panorama Point at Mt Rainier

Snow covered trial I had to cross to get up the other part of the mountain. It was a long way down to the bottom and not easy to cross, but I made it!
That is how far down it was from the trial.

Hopefully that snow does not decide to come down on top of me!


Nice view of Mt Rainier








Mt Rainier 2

Above the clouds!
That is alot of snow!








The rock pile the trial went thru!




Mt Rainier NP

Reached the snow line of the mountain. Along the Skyline Trial and Golden Trial. 1700 foot elevation change on this trial.
That is steep!

At the level of the clouds!


The first view of Mt Rainier from the trial.



See the Glaciers?
