After we left Mowich Lake Campground, my buddy and I decided to take the Spray Park trail instead of the Wonderland Trail Proper. I read in Bette Filley's book, "Discovering The Wonders of the Wonderland Trail" that Spray Park offers some magnificent views of Rainier whereas the Wonderland Trail is more forested and covered. The only catch is that if it's bad weather, Spray Park is absolutely miserable as there is no cover and it's the highest point on the trail. Thankfully we lucked out and had blue skies and great views! Here is a photo of Spray Park Trail close to the Carbon River Campground.

I was backpacking in Alaska on the Kesugi Ridge Trail in Denali State Park and I turned around to see what I had just traversed. I took this unique, interesting and cool photograph of the terrain.
