Pinnacle Saddle — Saturday, Jul. 26, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > SE - Cayuse Pass/Stevens Canyon
Pinnacle Saddle by DVS26

Stunning trail, lined with zillions of wildflowers right now, pikas chirping, hardly any people on a summer Saturday when the park was PACKED. This trail is too good to be true with gobsmacking views a mile up that only get better once you venture a quarter mile past the trail end toward Plummer Peak. Tons of great lunch spots. Trekking poles helpful for stability on the rocky bits. Going again today.
