Mt Rainier - Skyline Trail



The trail continues upwards and thankfully the clouds clear (not quite in a Moses and red sea moment but I will take it). The Mountain stands there before me and it is an awesome sight. There are lots of glaciers on the slopes and also a waterfall running down the side. The trail was cool as parts of it are covered in snow but it is still nice and warm. The mountain stands at 4392 metres high - as I continue onwards the clouds keep clearing so the views keep getting better and better. I head up to Pebble Creek and then start to descend downwards along the Golden gate trail back towards Paradise.
