| One of the nice things about hiking from Sunrise is you get great views like this right from the get go. |
 |
| The beautiful phlox is out early this year |
 |
| Halfway frozen Frozen Lake |
 |
| Starting up the trail to the first Burroughs |
 |
| Well, we don't have ice axes, but we do have micro-spikes and poles |
 |
| Got across the first snow field,, with Frozen Lake in the background |
 | |
| The mountain peeks around the trail |
 |
| A lot of snow and ice to cross |
 |
| On top of the first Burroughs |
 |
| Literally and figuratively blown away |
 |
| Dwarfed by the mountain |
 |
| The flat top of first Burroughs |
 |
| The three snowfield on the ascent to the second Burroughs |
 |
| Crossing a snowfield coming up on Second Burroughs |
 |
| A view from our lunch spot on Second Burroughs |
 |
| Little Tahoma from Second Burroughs |
 |
| Coming back down from the Second Burroughs, we take a right on the Sunrise Rim Trail |
 |
| The last big snowfield to cross, before |
 |
| And after, looking back |
 |
| Looking down on the copper colored lake |
 |
| The trail, the mountain....... |
 |
| A field of marsh marigolds |

| One last shot right before getting back to Sunrise |

This looks absolutely amazing! I have been waiting for over a year to attempt this hike! Would you say the trail is very rocky? Or is it mostly leveled dirt with the occasional rock/root? We've got family coming to visit and one has a bad knee that makes the rocky trails like Lake Serene and Snow Lake inaccessible for her. Would you think this trail would be okay?
Hi Tara,
Yes, the trail is quite rocky. Because of the higher elevations at Sunrise, much of this trail is above the tree line, thus there are no major tree roots to deal with.
This is a gorgeous trail, but, in my opinion, it would be just as difficult as Lake Serene or Snow Lake.
