Hike 30: Nachez Peak loop with the Lyons

We did this on the second part of our day at Mt. Rainier. This time, we met up with our friends and neighbors across the street, Dave, Drea, and Nate! The trail we did here, Nachez Peak loop, is one that Dave spent a lot of time at in his childhood. Growing up in Yakima, it was actually a pretty quick trip to this area.

One more dad on the trail! Dave and his son, Nate.

The weather today was really cool; the clouds and fog put Mt. Rainier into contrast, and made it seem as if it were a floating mountain. The views at the time were incredible.

Soon, the views became less incredible as the front came in and fogged everything!

The foliage and scenery were still beautiful though, and we even got to hike a bit of the famous PCT!

Thank you to our great friends and neighbors for coming up to the mountain with us!
