Hiked the Wonderland trail from Longmire to Indian Henry's Patrol Cabin. Smoky conditions kept the views hazy but also seemed to keep the crowds away, too. Saw three backpackers on their way out on my to the cabin but that was it. Three people over 7 miles inside the park -- a rarity. Saw more people on my way back but still I think the total number of people I saw was less than 20. Temps were nice. There was a cool breeze at Indian Henry's that chilled me after sweating on the hike up. Fall colors just starting to come out and berries are plentiful in the upper meadows. I did this hike 4 years ago and continued on to mirror lakes but it's either the years or the mileage as I didn't have it in me today. Will be feeling this long hike tomorrow I am sure but it was worth it!

Beautiful day at Mt. Rainier. Hiked from Longmire up to Indian Henry's Patrol cabin. Felt good so continued on to Mirror Lakes. Saw quite a few backpackers but not too many day hikers. In fact, might have been the least traveled trail I've been on in the park. Perhaps the length of the trail keeps people away. Or maybe everyone is up at Paradise. In any event, it was great to have the trail to myself for large chunks of time today.
