Looking to do Handies Peak in late June with my 7 and 10 year old. We are without a 4WD vehicle. It sounds like the last mile to get to the trailhead would be difficult to pass without a 4WD vehicle. My question is if it would possible to park our car and then hike with our camping gear to the trail head or hitch a ride with someone in 4WD for that last mile? Or any other suggestions...

Michael, I love your post on this. I've been on a hunt for some excellent Milky Way shots and Mt. Rainer is my goal this year. What time of night were these there shots taken in? Respectfully, Jon
