Day Hike - Crystal Peak (Mount Rainier)
July is a great time to visit Crystal Peak, a hike that has much to offer: views of Mt. Rainier, a bit of solitude, wildflowers, a good workout, and a bit of history. At its end we’ll find a world class panorama and the remnants of a fire tower built back in the CCC days. Come prepared for an early start, a good pace and an amazing view.
