  • By 2AM the Milky Way is right over the summit of Mt Rainier and looks as though it is coming out of the volcano. Three parties climb the north side of the volcano and at least three more are climbing the ridge along the east side.

  • The Milky Way is just east of Mt Rainier at 11:30PM. The lights on Mt Rainier are a base camp and the climbers beginning to start their final ascent.  They have a 4,000 foot climb from base camp and try to reach the summit by day break so they can start down before the warm temperatures open crevasses. A meteor glows through the east side of the Milky Way.

  • Mt Rainier just up the trail toward Sourdough Ridge from Sunrise. First Burroughs Mountain is on the right. Burroughs Mountain and Sourdough Ridge are remenants of andesite lava flows between 420,000 and 500,000 years ago when Mt Rainier was just begining to grow.

  • Around midnight, I hiked up to sourdough ridge in Mt Rainier Wilderness.  It was so dry that a dust cloud rose from each step.  A number of crickets jumped from the trail in front of me as I climbed.  I could smell a little smoke in the air from the forest fires east of the wilderness and it contributed a red glow to the clouds even late at night.

  • I discovered these two marmots in an intense wrestling match much like two puppies.  The wrestling match went on for 5 to 10 minutes before one tired and returned to his burrow.
