Little Ranger Peak via Ranger Creek — Sunday, Jul. 17, 2011

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410

Me, John, and Liza rocked out this hike RT in 3 hours (2:18 moving, :44 stopped). Nice happy little forest, great trail tread. Trail is narrow but no foliage brushing against you. In fast, very little low-level bushes. Nice and open, the sounds of Ranger Creek rushing below. Nice view from the little peak, we stopped for a snack and to admire the view. Too cloudy to see Mount Rainier. Sun came out when we were on our way down. Nice trail! We only passed one mountain biker on the way down. Several folks hiking up as we were descending had dogs, most were on leashes.
