THREE HIKING SISTERS, we love to hike together, but we don't all live in the same state. Sometimes it is only two of us, and sometimes we hike with others. This is a record of some of our hikes.

This morning I drove to Reflection Lakes and hiked up to Pinnacle Saddle and part way along the unmaintained trail to the east behind Pinnacle Saddle, overall 3 miles round trip with 1,200 ft of gain. zoom of Mt Rainier at Reflection Lakes
The trail starts in the forest going up a steep trail through several talus fields. Photos of a couple of the views of Mt Rainier along the trail and some of the talus fields on the side of Pinnacle Peak
The upper portion of the trail is our of the forest with lovely views, here looking towareds Plummer Peak and a small marmot on the side of the trail.
