Day Hike - Hidden Lake (Mount Rainier)

Meet at 9 AM at the Enumclaw Ranger Station on SR 410, or at 10 AM at the trailhead at Sunrise Point in Mt. Rainier National Park.

We consolidate cars at the Enumclaw Ranger Station and then caravan to the Sunrise Point parking lot via the White River entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park, where we pay an entrance fee of $25 per car or show a Park pass covering five people in a car.  We will stop at the restrooms near the White River entrance gate, since there is no restroom at the trailhead.  The hike goes up and down multiple times, with a total gain of 1,600 feet.  During our lunch stop at Hidden Lake, we will have time for a swim in the lake if the weather cooperates.  On the drive home we customarily stop at Wapiti Woolies in Greenwater for huckleberry ice cream.  Restrooms are available at the Enumclaw Ranger station.  No parking pass is required at either the ranger station or the trailhead, but either a Park pass or admission fee is required for each car at the Park admission gate.
