Hike leader will be camped Sunday night at White River in Mt Rainier. Therefore, we will meet at Sunrise Point parking lot (NOT the main Sunrise parking lot near the visitor center) which is where the trail starts. The trail is not labeled as Hidden Lake; it is labeled as Palisades lakes Meet time 0900.
Preliminary meeting places if participants want to carpool can be decided later on.
The elevation gain is more than than listed here due to ups and downs, and some of it is on the way out. The side trail to Hidden lake is somewhat steep and is not maintained by the park which means it can be a little rocky etc.
Likely to have hot weather so pack plenty of water. Leader will bring filter to replenish if needed.
