2007.8.12. Mt Rainier. Berkeley Park (3 miles from Sunrise) & Grand Park (3 miles from Berkeley Park campground). Mostly flat. Abundant flowers and marmot. Frozen Lake was still a quarter frozen.
A week or two too late for flowers in the Grand Park, but
grand it is. Even though it was drizzling by the time we reach there, and no view of Rainier for the whole day, the massive expanse of this meadow is so enticing that I immediately started planning my next visit. Flowers along the road and at Berkeley Park were at their last glory. Fog made the hills and lake prettier and moody.
Here is a review of the trail.
