The trail was in great condition. The only risky parts were some of the bridges over the creeks were slippery so be sure to be careful.
Parking
The parking lot was active with a few spots available.
Route Stats
The trip was 5.92 miles with ~1500 ft of elevation gain. This was within the margin of error that mapping software gives. The elevation gain was steady throughout the hike.
Weather
The weather was surprisingly similar to summer. A blue sky with some sunshine. The temperature was pleasant. We were able to dress for summer given these conditions!
The Viewpoint
We made it to Debbie's View which had a clear view of Mt. Rainier (pictured above). The view was popular which was no surprise given the nice weather. Other than people, the viewpoint was full of ladybugs all over the trees and flying around.
