Thanks for providing some information on the area when it's a bit more melted out! Sounds like you had a great hike - we may have to make another trek out there soon. <br /><br />-JerJerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373862571150138613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148308556895660080.post-11084049293083683412012-07-17T12:06:08.522-07:002012-07-17T12:06:08.522-07:00I see your post is dated June 29, 2012 but these p...I see your post is dated June 29, 2012 but these pictures must have been taken several months ago right? A friend and I went up there July 9th and there was very little snow at the very top of the hill.<br /><br />Once you park at the old shooting range (boy, what a mess left behind) you can make a choice. Go up the road for about 2 miles to the trail head or take the trail just to the right. The road to the trail head is dry, not much there but the trail itself is great – the mountain bikers association has made it really nice with lots of rocks, well defined trail, very pleasant elevation change and great views.<br /><br />If you take the trail off the parking lot you will end up making a complete loop. We took the road, then the trail and about the ½ way point cut over and went to the top of the ridge, hard to find the old logging road, they have really hidden it but it does jump off to the left about 5 miles in.<br /><br />The view from the top of the ridge of the back side of Rainer is great, well work the off-roading to get up there, still some snow but welcome at that point. I would recommend taking the trial but either way the hike is great. We had a nice 75 degree day, lots of water coming off the snow - great day hikMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226547923246444273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148308556895660080.post-58502004812795118272012-07-15T11:17:15.727-07:002012-07-15T11:17:15.727-07:00Good review and the hike seems easy as you say.
