Mt Rainer (Sunrise) Day Trip

Drove up to Mt. Rainer for a hike. After one heck of a time trying to score on some fresh hot traveling coffee.(took 3 stops) we were on our way. Stopped by the Black Diamond bakery for some goodies to go along with our coffee (the cake donuts are the best). We made it to Sunrise on Mt. Rainer in a little over2hrs. After downing my new hiking / Cycling boots. We were on our way for couple hr. hike. The weather was perfect and the trails down hill were great. Up hill, well what can I say. They are not quite as much fun. Stopped by White River Campgrounds to check it out. The video shows our courageous crossing of the river. Had lots of laughs and I am ready to once again don those boots. Click HERE for more pictures
