Northamerica Usa Washington Naches Peak Loop Trail, Mt Rainier national park

Naches Peak loop trail is a beautiful trail to enjoy some of the fall colors in the pacific north west Mt Rainier area. This is an easy hike with beautiful views of Mt Rainier and few lakes, dotted with beautiful alpine fall colors along the trail.

Northamerica Usa Washington Burrough mountain trail, Mt Rainier National Park

Burrough mountain trail offers spectacular view of Mt Rainier and Emmons Glacier. We do make sure to get couple of trails in the Mt Rainier area every year, and we like to share our pictures and memories from each of our hikes. This one is from a summer starter hike in July couple of days after the road opened till Sunrise visitor center. Snow had almost melted but please check the trail conditions with rangers before heading out. We had to use our microspikes to cross some steep snowfields while crossing the mountain slopes. Something like the Kahtoola MICROspikes Footwear Traction are essential for trails like these.
