Mt. Rainier: Wildflowers and Casual Birding
August 6, 2015 @ 6:30 am-3:00 pm
Leaders: Jan Sharkey and Kristin Stewart
Join us for a Mt. Rainier wildflowers trip – on a Thursday, so we can avoid the weekend crowds. Please note: the date for this trip may change depending on snow and flower conditions at Paradise.
We will go for a relatively easy and slow hike and enjoy the views, the flowers, and any birds we happen upon. We plan to hike a fair distance but at a leisurely pace. Be aware we will start our walk at Paradise at 5100′ and climb up to 6000′. Folks who do not want to hike too far are welcome to join us for as long as they wish and to stop along the way. As is usual on the mountain, be prepared for all weather conditions. Bring food and water. If you have FRS radios, they might also be useful.
Meet at the Martin Way Park and Ride at 6:15 a.m. to leave by 6:30. Call Jan Sharkey at 360-943-8786 or Kristin Stewart at 360-456-5098 to sign up.
