Let's meet at 9:00 am just inside the White River entrance.
Driving time from Green Lake, Seattle is about 1:50 (hour:min).
My favorite area of Mount Rainier National Park. The north ridge approach involves rock scrambling over and around columnar basalt. Slight exposure. Descend via Hidden Lake adds to the scenery.
I prefer small parties, hence the limit of 7.
Typical car-to-car time is 6:30 (hour:min)
