Day Hike - Palisades Lakes

Another very pretty hike on the side of Mt Rainier. If our timing is good, we will see some great flower shows. If the weather is good, maybe a quick swim.

  • Easy/Moderate
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 7.5 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,800 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 6,150 ft
  • Pace: Between 1.7 and 2 mph.

We will be meeting in Enumclaw. We will leave there by 8:15. The meeting location will be coordinated with the registered hikers the week before the trip.

All that I ask is for hikers to be confident that they can keep up and enjoy themselves at the pace I have indicated. I do ask the group to stay together, so a slower hiker will slow us all.
