Spray Park Loop — Friday, Aug. 12, 2016

Mount Rainier Area > NW - Carbon River/Mowich

This is a long, arduous, yet straightforward hike with breathtaking views! I did not encounter much difficulty following the trail except for a washed out bridge over the Carbon River directly following the Carbon River Camp. For now, hikers will have to take a detour over the suspension bridge connecting to the Northern Loop Trail. From there I was eventually reconnected to Ipsut Creek Trail. The detour added a mile at most to the overall hike.
