This photo was taken August 6th 2022. Even though it's covered in snow right now, it's a great place to snowshoe during the winter!

Thank you! 🙏 I thought the same. I'm so glad we got a late start and hike to the campsite during sunset. The colors really were magical

I believe that is the Tatoosh mountain range with Adams in the distance, but I could be mistaken.

It's amazing how I can recognize a specific trail from a single picture along miles of trees, but I need to bust out a calculator to remember how old I am. 🤣

Thanks! This is the Summerland Trail in the Sunrise portion of Mt Rainier NP. It’s a 10.1 mile, out-and-back hike with 2,600 feet of elevation gain (Moderate to difficult). Anyone can hike here (June through October-ish), but you need a permit to camp.

That's the truth. It can get pretty busy in the summer.
It's really the perfect winter trail... super close to the city if you're trying to squeeze in a quick after-work hike before the sun goes down.

I captured this a few weeks ago during a photoshoot for a trail-review. The vibrantly colored and moody forest views on the way up to the lookout were just as stunning. See you on the trails.
