McClellan Butte 2003 |
Mount Rainier from near the summit |
Left the trail head at 4:15 on July 17th 2003. 70 + degrees hiking in the cool shaded forest. In the words of George Burns, "The trail was a hedious *&$!* goddess. 9 miles with 3700 foot elevation gain. The trail could use some repair. The views from the top were great. We needed flashlights for only the last 10 minutes. We reached our vehicles at 9:35. |
