Day Hike - Hidden Lake (Mount Rainier)

Explore the most beautiful alpine scenery in Mt. Rainier National Park, passing picturesque Sunrise and Clover Lakes enroute to magnificent Hidden Lake, a true hidden gem. This is an “upside down” hike where there is more elevation gain on the hike out than on the hike in.
