Had hoped for better views with the sunny forecast but unfortunately the clouds around Rainier only provided glimpses of the mountain. Mt. St. Helens was pretty visible as were Glacier Peak and even Mt. Baker. Only the lower section of Mt. Adams was visible. Lots of signs of elk but no elk, just plenty of chipmunks. The highlight was a great encounter with what I think was a sooty grouse. We hear them often when hiking but rarely get a good view. This one strutted and showed its colors. Very cool!

A six peak day! Baker, Glacier, Adams, Rainier, St. Helens and Hood were all visible from the peak today. Gorgeous day. Get there early to climb before the heat really kicks in and the crowds converge. Two people at the top when we got there and one more arrived shortly thereafter. But there were at least 10 people there when we headed down after an early lunch. Two small snow fields to cross but they were not too difficult even though the snow was very slushy. We broke out microspikes but that was probably overkill and on the way back down we left them in our packs. Still a little early for wildflowers. Creeks were refreshingly ice cold and flowing good. We had done this hike almost 3 years to the day and seemed a little harder this time but maybe I'm just getting hold. About 5 hours round trip including a nice lunch at the top. Great views make this hike great bang for the buck!

Great views from the top today! Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak, Adams, Hood, St. Helens and of course Rainier were all visible from the top. Definitely a good workout getting to the top but the views make it worthwhile. Wildflowers are starting to bloom but it's still early for berries.
