Mt. Rainier - Camp Muir weekend

Our annual winter trek up to Camp Muir turned into a weekend adventure. Along for the ride were Jon and Mark from Boise, Dave, Alan, Mat and me. Paradise had just received a ton of new snow, and the conditions were fantastic.





We found a nice spot just below the steep climb up to Panorama Point. We quickly set up the tents, emptied our packs and got ready for the real hike up to Camp Muir

Morning dawned mostly clear, but pretty windy.







All packed up in the wind, getting ready to head down.
