Meet at the parking lot near Reflection Lake and the Wonderland Trail entrance at 7:00am. There are two small parking lots, so get there early! Look for my white Chrysler Seabring, plate #ASU-2430.
We will be hiking in a clockwise direction, stopping to take photos of the lakes and Mt. Rainier along the way. There may be some avalanche lilies present.
Here is a map of the trail loop we will be hiking.
We should be finished by noon - option to have lunch in Longmire.
Note: I will be spending Friday night at the Big Creek campground, which is right outside the western Nisqually entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park (near Longmire).
