Mt Rainier-#beatcancer hike-19aug2023
Got together with my hiking amigos and climbed up close to that hill in our backyard. Two of these studs are recent cancer survivors. I was humbled to be in their presence and listen to their survivor stories. Extremely perspective enhancing. Back at the trail head my GOV phone lit up with messaging about evacuations due to the wildfires across state. We could smell and taste the smokey effects.
Don't let time take away your coulda, shouldas. Take time to task and accomplish those been there, done thats - while you still can.

Mt. Rainier High Skyline Trail
Great hike with lots of elevation and a BLAST to run down (there was tons of great snow to run in). Thought it would be tough to trail-run in the snow, but it was awesome.
Take sunscreen! The entire climb is out in the open, and the run in the snow completely crispy-fried us!
Note: this trail is BUSY. The first mile or so is on tarmac paths, so it's not that enjoyable until you hit the dirt.
From the high skyline trail peak you can see Camp Muir, so take some binoculars - it's pretty cool.

Should have left earlier. Just barely missed the sunrise.
Very challenging uphill before panorama point. Beautiful plants. Will do again
