Northern Loop Backpack - Mt Rainier National Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- In late September I took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and backpacked the Northern Loop at Mount Rainier National Park. I tried my luck at a walk up permit and got the dates and camps I was hoping for (you can also reserve them in advance - link with permit information listed below) This was yet another great backpack with unseasonably warm weather, fall colors, and challenging terrain with plenty of elevation gain and loss. You know it's a good backpack when you want it to last longer. Almost makes we want to hike the Wonderland trail again (almost!)
Itinerary:
Day 1 - Sunrise to Lake James Camp
Day 2- Lake James Camp to Mystic Camp
Day 3 - Mystic Camp to Sunrise
Dates Hiked: September 30-October 2, 2022
(this was an unusually warm weather for this time of year. I would not plan for similar weather next year during this same timeframe)

Thanks so much for watching! Are you planning any hikes or backpacks at Mt Rainier?
Thanks for sharing. It’s been a long time since I did the Northern Loop.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your hike documentary. I did this trip in 1969, when conditions and park liberties were far different. Ie you could camp anywhere in general and have open flame fires. A lot needed to change and it has. The other thing is movie camera's for average folks were very poor. I have some movies, Super 8 not sound, out of focus. I would love to be able to do another hike and capture in 4K digital. Too late for me at 73.
I loved what you did the walking bits. Thanks for the modern tour. What amazes me is that much or most of the trail is exactly as it was 50+ years ago. Same issues. Cheers.
Beautiful nature! :)
One of my favourite mountains. Climbed it in August 1972, from Paradise, camp Muir, and summited in a raging holy. Thanks for the memories.
Wow, what an experience! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Love your videos. Thanks!
Glad you are enjoying them! :)
@@karahikes I so hope you continue with your video sharing. Your catalog of hikes are so inline with my to do list. Thanks again! Spring hiking season will be here before you know it!
