We took the Sunrise Road into the NE Rainier National Park Saturday, and started out on the Wonderland Trail from the White River Campground. That first part of the hike was fairly strenuous, with switchbacks, etc, climbing from an elevation of 4300 up to 6400. At that point we joined the Silver Forest Trail, which meandered through some beautiful meadows and had some nice views, taking us to Shadow Lake and the Sunrise campsite. A half mile above Sunrise, we rejoined the Wonderland Trail and had another 3000 foot climb to Frozen Lake. All in all, an exhilarating day of hiking, which left us just wanting more...
once again you bowl-ed me over with your adventure...very nice very pretty.
