Summiting Mount Rainier

The 3-day loop of the Wonderland Trail was a perfect warm-up before tackling the highlight of the trip and climbing Mount Rainier. We had a permit for Camp Muir which is the most popular and accessible base camp.
One more time we got pretty lucky with a sunny weather and not too windy conditions on top. Altitude was also barely felt. While a little bit busy, it was still manageable and the mountaineering sceneries were out of this world.
At 14,411 feet or 4393 meters Rainier is iconic and can easily be seen from all the Seattle region and can’t be missed when flying.
