CHS 2 Hike - Norse Peak

Rainier Campout Weekend - Norse Peak from Crystal Mountain parking South to the PCT, out and back to Barnard Saddle, up to the summit of Norse Peak, down to Norse Peak trailhead, and back to Crystal Mt. via the forest service road. The snow may have foiled our original plans yet again, but it WILL NOT BREAK OUR SPIRITS! It sounds like this will be a day full of peaks and wildflowers. Oh and this is a CHS hike led at a CHS 2 pace (2.0-3.0 mph).
