Shriner Peak Hike

With a great weather forecast for Sunday, we headed out on a hike by Mt. Rainier with some friends.


About halfway up the trail to the peak, we came across a black bear not too far off the trail eating berries.






We had never seen a bear in the wild before, so it was really cool to see one in person. It was especially good that the bear seemed to mind it's own business. ;) Here's a zoomed pic of the bear.


The main reason we chose this hike is the views you get of Rainier. I figure any hike with a lookout probably has good views. :)



Here's our group.


And Tim at the lookout.
