Alpine Scramble - Mount Ruth (Mount Rainier)

A serendipitously all-women strenuous snow scramble of Mount Ruth.

  • Road suitable for all vehicles
  • I had done Mount Ruth just six days prior to this trip and the snow had receded and consolidated significantly since then. The majority of the trail to the Glacier Basin Camp was snow free, but approximately the last 0.5 miles of trail before the campground still had snow.

looks like you had a very good day! The markers you noticed on the GB trail are for the MeadoWatch research program (UW Dept of Biology with NPS). ( Community science project gathering data on plant phenology and looking at long term trends from climate. ) They exist on some other trails and also you may notice on other trails silver markers (Cascade Butterfly project). thanks for not disturbing them.
