This is a photography oriented day hike where we will be taking multiple stops to photograph around the Naches Peak Loop and Tipsoo Lake. This hike will be led at a casual pace. Depending on weather, you may need multiple layers to accommodate slower speed. Heavy Rain will cause a cancellation or reschedule.
Winter is slowly leaving in Mt Rainier and I will be keeping an eye on reports in attempts to have opportunities for wildflowers. Date may shift up or down depending on how quickly snow melts and Mt Rainier comes out of her slumber.
