Day Hike - Crystal Lakes (Mount Rainier)

Another great hike on Rainier. It is a very nice trail and we could be lucky with some wild flowers. The weather could permit a swim for the brave. I'm hopeful for a warm June so the trail is passable. I may switch the date a week before the hike.

Leader's notes

I have listed this as challenging because it is a steady climb with little relief. The chance of rain will cancel the hike.
