Wonderland Trail
South Mowich River Camp to Golden Lakes Camp
Day four - a week of great hiking weather ahead. I left the South Mowich River shelter with dry gear, thanks to non-leaky areas in the shelter. As I climbed, gradually from 2600ft elevation at South Mowich River to 5000ft Golden Lakes, the grand sight of Mt Rainier appeared through the parting clouds. I viewed and photographed its changing facets for the next seven days. The Golden Lakes looks east at the northwest face of 14410ft Mount Rainier in all its glorious light.
