6-7-2015 Naches Loop Trail - Mt. Rainier

Today is Jessica's birthday and we are back on Mt. Rainier! The Naches Loop trail is around 5400 ft elevation, located at Chinook Pass. There was not a cloud in the sky and it was sunny and hot. We left the trail-head around 10am and hiked the 3.8 mile trail in about 4 hours. The views of Mt. Rainier were absolutely majestic. This trail was 90% easily walked by both Claire and Levi, with a few snowy patches that required assistance to cross from Mom and Dad. What a great day and a great hike.
