Mount Rainier Area > SE - Cayuse Pass/Stevens Canyon

The trail to Pinnacle Saddle is in full color. It's a short steep hike with a big reward. The pikas are foraging for winter in the rocky sections and the view is spectacular on a clear day. This one is worth a look before the snow hits for real. 

Lots of photos here:
