The Wonderland
Trail is a 92-93 mile trail circumnavigating Mount Rainier in Washington. It was originally built to provide park rangers easy access
to the park. 2015 marks the centennial
of the completion of the Wonderland Trail!
A ranger helped us plan an itinerary and granted us a
first-come, first-served permit
to hike the Wonderland Trail clockwise starting and ending
at Longmire Trailhead.
On Day 1, after driving around the entire park dropping two caches
of food, Claire and I started off from Longmire trailhead about 3pm and hiked 5.5 miles to Devil’s
Dream.
Our first view of Mount Rainier:
... across river beds, both dry and running.
