Trip
Alpine Scramble - Howard Peak & Florence Peak
Imagine gorgeous Eunice Lake from Tolmie Peak with Mount Rainier beckoning beyond. Even better, as the road to Mowich Lake will be CLOSED we’ll have solitude on the summit of Tolmie Peak! A great ~4,500’ gain/19 mile workout on this mostly hiking, clockwise loop from the Carbon River entrance (via Ipsut Pass).
