8 miles R/T, 2100 ft to Summerland.
Absolutely beautiful. No space to park. Well maintained trail with solid wood creek crossings. First 2 miles are relatively flat, until the waterfall. Then trees give away to lush verdure. Avalanche lily filled the slopes before reaching Summerland area.
Quite a number camping spots. Open vista, Little Tahoma, Rainier are too close to shoot a nicely composed photo. A not-too-small creek rushing down. 1+ mile further up, more rubbles and ice, until Panhandle Gap.
