Beautiful fall day, we headed up to Mt Rainier to revisit the High Skyline Loop Trail.
We would hike about 6 miles with about 2000 ft total elevation gain.
We again parked in the lower parking lot and followed the Dead Horse Trail
up towards the Skyline Loop Trail and saw deer on the way among the last of the wildflower.
Along Dead Horse Trail, with fabulous views of Mt Rainier
The trail steeps when we joined the Skyline Trail. We saw a marmot along the way.
On the way up, we did the side trail to Glacier Vista for a fabulous view.
The steps up to Panorama Point are steep.
Wonderful view from Panorama Point, haze is due to forest fires to the south
The High Skyline Trail takes you between the large rocks and Mt Rainier
for wonderful views of the mountain.
Wonderful fall foliage.
Heading back to Paradise.
