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.

Berkley Park
We drove to Sunrise at Mt Rainier National Park to hike to Berkley Park to enjoy the wildflowers in bloom. We also had fabulous views and saw marmots, pica and a mountain goat. We went up Sourdough Ridge to Frozen Lake then down through Berkley Park a bit past Berkley Camp. We retuned up through Berkley Park, took the Wonderland Trail back to Sunrise, overall 8.7 miles with 1,700 ft of gain.
