Second weekend in a row at Mt. Rainier- this time at Sunrise with G&GG. Next weekend Kieran and Amy are in town so maybe we'll get the trifecta. The combination of beautiful mountain and beloved granddaughter left G&GG gesticulating wildly for most of the trip.
Because of the late melt, we hadn't seen too many wildflowers earlier in the year, but they were really out this time.
We did the Dege peak trip from Sunrise, which is a ridge hike with views in all directions. Mt Baker was out in the distance to the north, and Rainier constantly loomed over us.
Eden did a good job as she was carried up by her dad and down by her mom, making friends and waving at all of the other hikers.
This will be the last post of the 'summer of Eden'- school starts for me tomorrow and she'll be back in daycare on Thursday when the grandparents leave. I'll try to keep posting now and then but it was a fun summer and great to get to spend the time with her.
Great trip--as the mapbook said, "outrageous views of Mt. Rainier." It was a beautiful day at Rainier--thanks for the memories!
