Let's take advantage of some good weather and grab two more peak on the Rainier 100 list. The plan is to complete both peaks from Sunrise Point and the trail to Hidden Lake. The trail portion begins with a downhill and then undulates until we begin the off-trail scramble. We'll return on the trail.
Plan on the easy side of moderate pace. Trail section about 2.5mph and climbing at 1000' to 1200' hour. Further details to be sent on Friday after registration closes.
