Marmot showing off its beauty at Mt. Rainier national park. Love the little hands and the teeth.
Two exciting things to share; yesterday I saw a big bear and today it rained! Washington finally getting some much needed water, we are running low everywhere and this state has a reputation for being wet. For example Paradise lodge & Inn inside Mt Rainier National Park ran out of water two weeks ago! Here is how Myrtle Falls flow was on July 6 compared to yesterday, September 28.
Thankfully big storm came in today, which put this black bear on a mission yesterday to eat all the berries left. I was guiding a group of six, we had the perfect viewpoint safely on a high ridge two creeks & valleys away. Forecast is calling for possibly a foot of snow (30cm) this week! Things are looking up already and its only Monday.

Hiked up to Muir snowfield today; found a deep crack! My friend and I discussed our unused crevasse rescue skills and gratitude for not needing to use them. Our September turns are in!
Been doing a lot of backpacking recently, reaching some new sides of Tahoma (Rainier), Koma Kulshan (Baker) and a little in between. Im a bit behind on posts, but Ive been exploring some of the biggest glaciers and finding some of the oldest trees Washington state still has. More stories to come, seasons changing, new opportunities arising and the world has much to process. There is peace in the mountains. Hope you are finding it.
