Long Distance View of HERD OF MOUNTAIN GOATS from Burroughs Mountain Trail! | Mount Rainier | 4K

This was a 9.6 mile, 2600 FT Elevation Gain Day-Hike in Washington @ Mount Rainier National Park, focusing on the North Side of the National Park.

THE FIRST SEGMENT (SEPARATE VIDEO IN PLAYLIST) starts at Sunrise Rim Trailhead hiking South doing an "Upside Down Lollipop" Hiking Route, doing a quick Hiking Hack of Emmons Vista Viewpoint to the Left before getting back on our main trail to the Right and hiking to Wonderland Trail, Shadow Lake, Sunrise Comfort Station (bathrooms) at the critical trail junction with Burroughs Mountain Trail, and ultimately hikes up the first part of Burroughs Mountain Trail to Glacier Overlook! There were multiple Marmots hanging out at Glacier Overlook admiring the Panoramic View!

THE SECOND SEGMENT (***THIS IS A HIGHLIGHT VIDEO FROM THIS SEGMENT!***) starts at Glacier Overlook and ascends Burroughs Mountain Trail to 1st Burroughs Mountain and 2nd Burroughs Mountain Summits, turning around as clouds were moving in and the weather was turning and returning a different route via Frozen Lake and Sourdough Ridge (hence the "upside down lollipop" hiking route) ultimately hiking back down to Sunrise Rim zone from the North side of Sunrise.

This was hiked on 9/16/2023, it was a beautiful blue sky day for the first half before the weather started to turn, it was moderately windy, and there were absolutely no mosquitoes!
