Wonderland Trail Section Hike

Thank you for sharing your photos. They brought back good memories.

Ian,
Your so-so pictures of your abreviaed hike revealed a diverse and beautiful landscape…and no rain. Sounds good to me. :)

Thanks Tom! I had a lovely time on the trail and the weather was very out of character for Rainier.

Nice. If you saw Indian Bar and Summerland, you may have seen the two best scenic areas IMO. Finished a thru-hike last summer. As for the pics, many are using just a smartphone camera and doing well. (Other than the charging issues) . Free editing apps help jazz up the pictures nicely. Enjoy your thru hike next year!

Thanks Dana. Some of the pictures were great but I had real hard time getting the phone to focus. It doesn't help that my eyes are fuzzy anyways but I'd take several pictures of something and then find that they were all out of focus when I got home. I realized that the phone is not a perfect replacement for a proper camera but this was one of my worst experiences with it.

All I have to do is hike the north section and a small portion of the west and I'll have seen all of the trail. The west side has such a different feel to it and the meadows around Indian Henry's were heaven on earth for me (despite the mosquitos). I very much doubt that next year's through hike will be my last on the Wonderland as I really enjoy this area.
