7.5 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
What a great afternoon on the East Side of Rainier. We left a grey overcast Kent in the morning and drove into blue sky near chinook pass. I picked a nice easy lake hike with the hopes that Mayumi would want to join me. She ended up saying yes and off we went. The hike up to sheep lake is pretty low key, but the wildflowers were out in full force so there was plenty of eye candy to keep me occupied taking pictures. Once we got to the lake Mayumi was in heaven and was enjoying putting her feet in. I still wanted more of a work out, so I took off to go explore the sourdough gap area. This was a fun little jaunt and I got to do some ridge scrambling on some unnamed peak. Pictures to come soon.... I am way behind in all my digital uploads.
