Camp Muir Hike

Playing some more with the browser plug-in for Google Earth. Below is a GPS trace that shows a hike I did today from Paradise to Camp Muir on Mt Rainer. The trace ends half on our way back because the GPS device I was using (Android phone) ran out of batteries. Too bad - glissading conditions were good, and I was hoping to find out my top speed going down the mountain.

McClellan Butte Hike

Last weekend, I tried this popular trail just off the I-90. There were still lots of snow, and we lost trail pretty quickly. Below is a (partial) track recorded with an Android phone showing the not so good way we took:
