We had a wonderful (but difficult) trip up Mt. Rainier! I just need to remember that "difficult" part the next time the kids want to go up again. Actually, we are all just about healed up and it's only been two days! In a week, we won't even remember the bruises, cuts, sore muscles and how heavy the pack was.
On the way up (Doug, Nora, Lisa and Pierre are an
hour behind us)
Some great looking flowers and a not so great feeling
bug!
Patsy arriving at Camp Muir
We had a fun time (Lisa and Pierre on the right -
Doug's friends)
In the hut ...
... at Camp Muir (10,188 feet)
The next day Nora, Doug and Bruce head
up to the top.
We made it!!! Here's Nora and Doug
at the summit! (14,411 feet)
We had a few cravasses to jump over ...
... we are all done and just heading back to base
camp.
