Berkley Park

We drove up to Sunrise at Mt Rainier National Park to hike to Berkley Park, about 7 miles round trip with about 1,200 ft loss/gain.
From the parking lot at Sunrise we headed up to the Sourdough Ridge Trail, gorgeous views of Rainier here.

As we headed west on the Sourdough Ridge Trail, we had gorgeous views and wildflowers along the trail as we were above Yakima Park.

We slowly sauntered through Berkley Park enjoying the wildflowers and mountain stream as we both descended down the trail and back up on our return.
