Camping above the clouds Date Climbed: Jan 19, 2013
Strange weather inversion meant that trailhead temperatures were lower than the summit. We were treated to clear skies, a beautiful summit sunset, and a surprisingly warm hike out.
Went to camp at Deer Park, but there were no places... so we explored around and hiked up Blue mtn just before sunrise. Absolutely beautiful. A very easy hike to reach such amazing views. Can see well into the Olympics, and across the water into Canada too. Well worth the drive up to Deer Park.
Great Views, Easy Hike!!! Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2009
I took my dog up the Rainshadow Trail with me. The mountain is fairly barren of plant life, but has great southern views towards the central Olympic Mountains. Highly recommended, especially for novice hikers.
