A full day on the Skyline Trail at Mt Rainier National Park. Wildflowers were at peak bloom and we lucked out with clear views of the summit. I share timing tips, permit info, and my favorite spots along the loop.

Join me on the Cascadia Lake trail in the Washington Cascades! I cover the trailhead parking situation, trail conditions, what gear to bring, and the stunning views along the way. This 8.4-mile out-and-back hike is one of my all-time favorites in the PNW.
