PoLiX Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Figured i'd share too from my recent hiking trip. Girlfriend had never been to any mountains before, so figured I'd take her to one. Mt St Helens isn't being too active lately, so figured i'd take her to Mt Rainier. http://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/01.JPGhiked to Panorama Pt. (6800ft, ~1500 ft above the start). Camp Muir (little over 10,000ft) is last stop before climbing to peak (14411ft). Plan to hike to Camp Muir and then hopefully in next few years, climb to peak. http://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/02.JPGhttp://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/03.JPGBear rooting for berries http://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/04.JPGhttp://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/05.JPG http://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/06.JPGOne day want to be standing at this point http://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/07.JPGhttp://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/08.JPGhttp://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/09.JPGThe pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. http://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/10.JPGhttp://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/11.JPG http://polix.sscentral.com/ssf/12.JPGOne last shot from a distance
Aceflyer Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Those are wonderful pics, PoL. Thanks for sharing.
»Blocks Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Hey, nice pictures. I was in Mount Rainier National Park a couple years ago, and it was beautiful. Not sure if I posted pictures on these forums or not. The peak looks deceptively close! I hope to hike it some day too. Glad you got to get into into the wilderness!
PoLiX Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Posted October 18, 2008 Yeah. When I was younger, my family use to go up there atleast once a month during the summer. Even camped at Cougar Campgrounds a few times.
rootbear75 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Did you post this is response to my lame Airport Photo gallery?shame on you nice pix tho. i hope to be even close to fit enough to hike :/
CRe Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Nice pics. Went there before a couple years ago.
Dav Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 looks like an amazing place to go get away from it all
Cancer+ Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 He takes pics of the place...but I don't see any pics of him doing the hike.
»Blocks Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 He takes pics of the place...but I don't see any pics of him doing the hike.Nonsense, I see him quite clearly in the second and third photographs.
PoLiX Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Posted October 19, 2008 I might have some pics from our hiking around Snoqualmie Falls of me and her. Maybe will find em and post em later.

Samapico Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 nice I kinda miss camping... Used to go camping a lot with my dad back in the day. But I got school pretty much all year long now, so
