Day Hike - Crystal Lakes (Mount Rainier)

This is a great hike up to a couple of pretty lakes on the flanks of Mt Rainier. The wild flowers are out!. If it is a nice day, who knows, maybe a quick swim.

We will be meeting in Enumclaw. We will be leaving there at 8:00. The meeting location will be coordinated with registered hikers the week before the trip.

All that I ask is for hikers to be confident that they can keep up and enjoy themselves at the pace I have indicated. I do ask the group to stay together, so a slower hiker will slow us all.
