A pic I took many years ago. I edited tonight with filters from the original for a bit more umph. I love Alpenglow. #Mt.Tahoma #Mt.Rainier #PNW #WashingtonState

Snowy Rainier part 7. As the day warmed up to about 45F (7C), all that fresh snow on the branches started to melt so coming back down was pretty much like hiking in the rain. Here's Lake Eleanor on the way up vs on the way down, with the snow gone. A good portion of that snow ended up dripping down the back of my neck. But it was well worth it, seeing The Mountain this close in its full winter coat. (No mountain lions, though).

Snowy Rainier part 6. And yes, I remembered correctly! This is Grand Park, a mile long meadow on the North side of the peak, at about 5,000 feet. In the summer this place is covered in wildflowers. And tourists. Now I've got it all to myself. Only one other person came this way. And one elk (I think those are elk tracks?). I just stood there for a good 40 minutes just gawking at the mountain and ignoring my wet feet.

Snowy Rainier part 5. I'm really hopeful at this point that the trail is leading where I remember it's supposed to... the trees are thinning out...

Snowy Rainier part 4. About three more miles up and the trees are getting thinner. But the snow is getting deeper, it's up to mid calf in places, well above my boots. At least I'm wearing wool socks. But I'm starting to reflect that maybe this isn't the best idea (always carry clothes and gear for weather worse than you expect).

Snowy Rainier part 3. The trail passes a little lake called Lake Eleanor, after a mile or so. There's campsites at this lake but of course they're empty. It's about 35 degrees F (2C). The only problem is I'm wearing jeans and a fleece and light summer boots. Still I can't help myself. Just a bit farther. I'm going from memory of what I read about where this trail leads.
