On Wednesday of this past week I headed with my friend Bill up to Mt Rainier for a motorcycle trip. We left early and headed North up towards Trout Lake, get a few miles past there and find out that the road that we needed is closed and we need to find another option. Long story short, lots of driving on forest roads, AKA roads that aren't in that great of condition and lots of drips and places where there isn't a road, just some gravel and mud. We keep riding and made it up near the entrance of the park and to say the least this area is amazing.
I am sure that I have never taken so many curves on my bike, there was little straight stretches and by the time that we had gotten to camp I was tired. I think that Bill had a great ride on his bike, first trip on it and I am sure that he loves it more and more everyday.
Once we got camp set up I went for a trail run, incredible views of the river but everything was straight up and then back down. I slept good that night. Speaking of sleeping, we set up the tent just decided to sleep out under the stars instead.
Thursday AM we got up early, broke camp and then headed back up into the park to get to see the summit of the mountain and grab a few photos before we headed back down and the East over to Yakima and then home.
It was a great trip and look forward to taking another one soon...
