Day Hike - Hidden Lake (Mount Rainier)

Meet at 8 AM at the Enumclaw Ranger Station, 450 Roosevelt Ave E SR 410), Enumclaw.

We can concolidate 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 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 hike out than on the hike in. We will be hiking 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 at the trailhead parking lot, but they most be shown at the Park entrance booth.  On the drive home, we'll have an optional ice cream break at Wapiti Outdoors in Greenwater.
