Morning inside temp 51 and outside temp 43.
Hiked with Dennis to Lake Eleanor and then on to Grand Park meadow inside Mt. Rainier Natl Park.
Started at 12:30 back to trail head at 5:00 traveled 8 miles and I was tired. Nice hike on a beautiful sunny day.
The mountain was clouded in by the time we got to Grand Park but that is what living here is all about, clouds and rain. Mt. Rainier actually makes it’s own climate around itself. The entire Pacific Northwest was clear yesterday except for the area around right around the mountain.
