About a mile
from camp, we stopped to filter water.
We passed the
patrol cabin at Indian Henry’s.
Had a great fruit break!
There are two suspension
bridges on the Wonderland Trail. As we approached the Tahoma Creek Suspension
Bridge, we heard a loud rumble and the ground started shaking. Claire ran up
the hill, so I thought we were running for our lives. But she was seeking a
better view of the debris flow in the Tahoma River.
This debris flow made both local
and national
news. In these pictures you can see the vertigo-inducing suspension bridge, boulders and trees moving down the river and dust from the cement-like debris
flow.
We hiked up to Emerald Ridge,
one of Claire’s favorite places in the park. We hiked up moraines and had
spectacular views of Mount Rainier. I strongly recommend hiking
the Wonderland Trail with a geologist!!
A filtering stop.
On the trail up to Klapatche
Park, we came across a bear eating blueberries by the trail!
We watched the sunset from
our campsite.
