Boundary Trail (Nisqually)/Ridge

On May 17, 2023 I explored Mt. Rainier’s Boundary Trail (Nisqually entrance) as a possible approach to Mt. Wow. I followed the trail to a saddle where a social trail continues towards Mt. Wow on a ridge, steep in some places. Actually the Boundary Trail is steep and my unaccustomed downhill legs were quivering at the end of this hike. I turned back on snow covered slopes just below 5000’ as I was in trail runners and concerned about my legs and the length of day had I continued on (I summited Mt. Wow on June 6 from the West Side Road approach). This video will give the viewer an overview of the Boundary and Ridge leading to Wow.
