Shriner Peak — Saturday, May. 16, 1998

Mount Rainier Area > SE - Cayuse Pass/Stevens Canyon

The trail up Shriner peak is mostly snowfree thanks to its southern exposure. Encoutered a lot of snow once at the last 1000 feet. I was leading a group of day hikers so I didn't go above 4,600 feet. The summit is 5,834, and didn't look like much problem for anyone with snow experience. My friends were pleased with the view from where we stopped. Rainier is just huge from the meadows where we ended.
