Wonderland Trail conditions: Longmire-White River CCW (8/13/11)
My 16 year old daughter and I attempted a fastpack (2.5 days) of Mt. Rainier's 93 mile Wonderland Trail with the mind that everything would have to fall into place for it to be successful. Although a few hours behind our itinerary, it was looking possible until we hit a snag which stopped us right in our tracks. Since I was on a tight schedule we had to bail out of finishing the trip, but I chronicled conditions at strategic points along the trail for the 33 miles covered.
