"The Mountain"

"The Mountain" as we call it around here, or Mt Rainier, is not a very accessible mountain in the winter. This year I picked up cross country skiing, which brings me new options for getting in to remote areas in the winter, it also makes me consider new options for light weight gear.

We spent a night at High Hut which belongs to the Mount Tahoma Trail Association (MTTA) at $15 P/P a night its pretty nice with a view that cant be beat.

High Hut can be seen at the end of this ridge on the left


A tough ski in but the ski out was fantastic, hope to be back here again next year for another great trip.
