We will hike to Green Lake in the Northwest corner of Mt. Rainier National park with a stop by Chenuis Falls first and possible a side trip up to the falls if the crossing looks okay. We'll be passing through a temperate rain forest created by the unique geography of this part of Mt. Rainier. This rain forest lives at a higher elevation than the typical coastal rainforests of the Olympic peninsula and is pretty unique. At the end we'll come to a secluded lake.
