Late season climb to Camp Muir (10,100 feet) on Mount Rainier (Tahoma). Great training for other treks, and a good challenge in its own right. Elevation gain was 4,760’ over 9.5 miles.
Slide 1- the Muir snowfield/glacier and Mt Rainier through my eyes. Zoom in to my glasses!
Slide 2- Tahoma in its glory
Slide 3- in the middle of the snowfield contemplating, “why do I do this?”
Slide 4- looking up and up and up at the seemingly endless snowfield between us and Camp Muir
Slide 5- several of the huge crevasses on the adjacent Nisqually glacier
Slide 6- view from 10,100 feet. Mt Adams and Mount St Helens seen in the distance
Slide 7- rest stop along a boulder field. Type 2 fun
Slide 8- Bambi and her fawns. Not a care in the world!
RIP Sarah Lowe
