I enjoy fishing, trail running, backpacking, whitewater rafting, back-country skiing, camping and spending time with my family.

Nice write up! In January and February this area is frequently used by elk as wintering grounds. Definitely cool to see and an alternative worth checking out during a time when the west side weather can be really sloppy.

One of my favorite places in the state! Have enjoyed many trips out here over the years. Highly recommend seeing this area from the water via boat or sea kayak if you can. So many untouched areas and so much wildlife to see.

Growing up 30 minutes from Mount Rainier, this hike was always a "go to" for showing family/friends from out of town great views of Rainier without the crowds of paradise or sunrise on a busy weekend. Great Photos and Write up!
