We'll start out from the Sunrise parking lot, go to the Fremont lookout, and link up with the Burroughs trail. Provided the weather cooperates, our lunch spot will provide stunning "I can reach out and touch Rainier!" views with plenty of space to stretch out. We'll loop back down to the trail head to treat ourselves to a different view of the Winthrop Glacier and an alpine lake or two.
