White River to Sunrise — Sunday, May. 28, 2017

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River

Road to white river cg all clear. Headed up to Sunrise. First 1/2 mile relatively snow free. Next 1/2 mile was mix of trail and snow. The rest of the way is not for navigationally challenged. Party of 3 with 2 gps helps. As you ascend the normal signs, cut logs etc., Of trail disappeared. Once we reached the waterfall crossing g it was pure willpower. The crossing g was still a good snow field - safe crossing, but traction a must. No evidence of anyone having attempted the Ascent nor at sunrise yet, which made for a great experience. Once across the falls shoot we just navigated our way through tree Wells with the GPS and eventually made it to the parking lot area. Beautiful day. About 90 inches of snow reading on the gages. Est. About another 1-2 weeks before the falls passing will be unsafe until melt out.
