Going to the Mountain
Alrighty oh, kiddos.

This weekend Saturday-
Hiking in Rainier national forest-
Carbon River-
Not too hard, 11 miles rountrip, 3000ish feet elevation. I think we get near a glacier. Weather is questionable.

Who's coming with me?

We can car pool, squeezing 4 into the Saturn, then head out through Blackdiamond and such.

It's a longer car drive, about 1:45 or so, leaving around 9:30-10ish, me thinkgs.

I have never taken more then 4 hours on this hike to the base of the glacier. The key is that you can continue on up the side past Dick Sperry Camp Cround and on to Moraine Park. This is well worth it. You should if the weather is good get a good view of Liberty Ridge (recent climber death) from here. This would then be a 7 hour hike up to Mystic Lake, again well worth it by looking at the mountain and the area behind the snout of the Carbon Glacier..
