Ascent of Second Burroughs Mountain on 2013-08-11| Others in Party: | David Musser
----Only Party on Mountain | | Date: | Sunday, August 11, 2013 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Peak: | Second Burroughs Mountain | | Location: | USA-Washington | | Elevation: | 7402 ft / 2256 m |
Ascent Trip ReportThe trails up the burroughs are well marked and well defined. After the first burrough and on the way to the second, we saw 34 mountain goats off the trail. After enjoying them we headed up to the peak of the second burrough and then sat on the peak chair. We spotted the herd path to the third Burrough and realized we could turn the hike into something giving us a good view of the glaciers coming up when we climb Rainier in 2 days so we headed down to it. We thought that spending some time up near 8,000 feet would help get the FL blood acclimated to the altitude. |
