Badger Mountain

Foot traffic on this trail is no longer allowed since the construction of the two "official" trails. This was one of my favorite trails to the top as it allowed for a steeper gradient and was more in line of the kind of conditioning I needed for my cascade hikes and climbs. Also, William Painter could be found trudging up and down this trail frequently as he trained to be the oldest climber to ever climb Mt. Rainier.
