Pinnacle Peak Saddle
For our second hike along the Stevens Canyon Road at Mt Rainier National Park today, we hiked up the Pinnacle Peak Trail to the saddle and back, about 3 miles round trip with 1,150 ft of gain.
This is a steep trail that starts in the forest, we saw lots of wildflowers along the way, very wet after a day and night of rain.
some views along the upper portion of the trail (Mt Rainier remained in the clouds all day)
