Day Hike - Hidden Lake (Mount Rainier)

Meet at 8 AM at the Enumclaw Ranger Station on Roosevelt Ave (SR 410)

We can consolidate cars at the Enumclaw Ranger Station.  We'll caravan from there to the White River entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park, where each car needs to show a National Park Pass at the entry booth.  We'll stop to use the restrooms there before continuing to the trailhead at Sunrise Point, where there are no restrooms.  Our hiking route begins heading down, then undulates and ends at Hidden Lake,  200 feet below where we started.  So there will be more elevation gain on the return hike than on the hike in.  The hike is mostly through flower-laden alpine meadows and partly through forested areas.  There are no restrooms on the hiking route, so we will take bathroom breaks at suitable spots.  No parking pass needs to be displayed at the Enumclaw Ranger Station or Sunrise Point, but they must be shown at the Park entrance booth.  After the hike, we'll have an optional ice cream stop at Wapiti Woolies in Greenwater.
