Beautiful day with low avalanche risk, hoped to hike the Skyline Trail at Paradise on Mt Rainier.
Took the Alta Vista Trail toward Panorama Point
Snowshoes off and Yak trax on to climb up to Panorama Point
Fabulous views at Panorama Point
Then we hiked up to the High Skyline Trail
From the High Skyline Trail we could see Mt Adams, Mt Hood & Mt St Helens
Unable to continue across the Skyline Trail because of ice, so we returned the way we came
Glissading down the steep parts!
Since there was still lots of daylight, snowshoed over to Glacier Vista,
Then back to Paradise and around the other side
to Myrtle Falls.
Back to the parceling lot in time to watch the moon rise.
Fabulous day out in the snow!
