Did this one with my 2 1/2 year old on my back (~45 pounds with gear and all) making it feel more like a normal hike. Pretty easy, but great for the family or people not accustomed to hiking or if you just feel like an easy hike with great views.

easy trail after Fremont and Skyscraper the day before. Nice walk up on relatively level trail. The view was top notch though! First time to get a good view of Mount Adams!

1st Visit to Rainier
My wife and I were attending a convention in Seattle and decided to visit Rainier. We climbed Dege Peak and then drove up to Sunrise. That was the day I decided to climb Mount Rainier. I climbed it 9 years later. I've been climbing ever since.

Dege, Antler, 2 McNeeley peaks, 4 Fremont peaks + the lookout, Skyscraper, 3 Burroughs peaksKind of a lame area, but the views are great. East Fremont had a good scramble, albeit a bit loose. A total of 12 peaklets.
