The hardest part is the video editing. This is one of my favorite locations up here. Mowich and Eunice are both beautiful lakes that make the entire beautiful picture pop. D
My son and I went here earlier this year. It was a great hike, but unfortunately weather had set in and we couldn't see the mountain. Thanks for the video.
YES! Krzysztof, that is exactly what a lot of people do. Amazing blue water when you get to see it up close. Thank you for watching and thank you so much for taking time to comment.
@@attentiondeficitoutdoors9134 thank you for sharing such a beautiful places because that shows the world still has something to be shown, so to be saved and something to fight for.
Your thank you means a lot to me Suzi. I appreciate the thought and time you have put into your comments to me and will work hard to make this better with every video.
It is definitely one I want to get in. Have stayed at Seaquest state park a few times and driven in to look at the area, but I hear the hikes that you need a permit/pass for are amazing!
Amazing trail, with beautiful scenery! I really liked that you linked the trail etiquette, people just need to be reminded sometimes... Keep up the great content, I'm loving your channel so far!
Hi Gábor, so glad to see you came back and commented on another video. You are right on the etiquette, I think it is great that people are getting out to enjoy the space. I greatly appreciate your support and feedback.
@@attentiondeficitoutdoors9134 I'm watching all of your videos and they are amazing! It's like you're taking us along the journey and showing the best spots with great commentary. Greetings from Hungary!
Have not tried at this location. Rumor is that since Rainier was sanctioned as a national park in 1899 these never got stocked and did not naturally have any. I have never seen fish active at Eunice Lake (the upper one on the hike). I have heard the bigger lake (Mowich) at the beginning has or had some triploid (infertile) Trout at one point in time. Was thinking of hitting it with a float and fish finder one of these days to see if there is any activity. Very beautiful up there.
Heck yes, thanks Chief! The Corporal and I spent a little time on the New Orleans and the Dubuque during deployments. My oldest is a Nuke MM. My goal is to never disappoint. Don't hold back on tips or ideas if you have them.
Hi M, if you start right from the trailhead it is roughly 7.5 miles round trip. If you get there later like I did on the day I took video and have to park a bit further away it can be around 8 round trip. Bring your bug spray. This is one of my favorite hikes. Tell me how the hike goes. ADO
Thank you Gerald, I am hoping to reach people of varied outdoor competence and comfort levels with something approachable that adds value. I appreciate the watch and comment. Don't hesitate to reach out with any feedback you feel would improve the experience provided by these videos. D
Thank you Matt, this is a great hike. Not sure where you are, but a person could spend months up here taking in all of what Rainier and the other neighboring State and National parks have to offer. I will do my best to bring it to you.
I did this hike yesterday (Sep 17, 2022) as far as Eunice Lake - and can attest to the 'watch your fitness level'! You've done a nice job of capturing the beauty of this hike. As for how to improve it - get rid of the music montage at the end - nothing like electronic music to complement views of nature. 🙂
Thank you Bob, I went up there with an additional camera and lens setup but the level of biting flies was off the charts. It was like the bug spray was just dip for the human snack. Will continue to work on getting better.
Very informative video going to Tolmie Peak Fire Lookout. Great quality of this content. You didn’t have to pay a fee? It’s in National Park I’m just wondering it’s not in your video that you pay a fee or stop in the entrance to pay.
Sorry Mary, just saw this. Need the park pass in your window. I have seen rangers up there checking. Best to get there early. This place has gotten popular. Still one of my favorites.
I have to say it was strange to see other people on the trail. When hiking/camping I never saw another soul and I preferred it that way but until now didn't even consider others would be where I was. Of course some of my ventures were technically not legal onto federally protected lands ... don't judge me! lol
HA! I won't tell. This trail was not accessible without a 25+ mile snowshoe/hike up until mid July. Due to the tight window this place gets busy when it opens up. There are many other great spots that are not as well known. I plan to provide a mix.
Hi TK, Mt. Si is another popular one off of the 90. This view from the Tolmie Peak Lookout is Mt. Rainier. I wanted to get some better shots with a nicer camera but the bugs were off the charts on this day. Thanks for checking out the video.
What do u do for protection from wildlife/idiots? Do u carry a "day" pack in case I have to spend the night? Haha mountain bikes? Wow, a 3 day weekend hiking and surviving. Biking and surviving?....just saying
Hi Brad, thanks for asking. There are a lot of washed out roads so in some cases up here riding part of the way helps reduce time and can be a necessity for reaching some spots. Most of the time I carry concealed, however, depending on how covered up I am carrying open might be the best for access. Finally I am always packing some level of the 10 C's made popular by many in the bushcraft community. I appreciate the idea. It is one heck of an idea on the 3 day or even more. You have my gears turning sir. Dustin
I love that you navigate us there, I get lost😂
Thanks Mariah, I have made a couple wrong turns going there even after doing it a few times.
I couldn't believe how clear and blue that lake is. It is so cool to see more of the PNW. Thanks for your hard work!

Bummer, glad this older video could give you a bit. Nothing like being out there. This is one of my favorite hikes.
Heard about your channel from corporals corner. Semper Fi and God bless
Thank you Marine. I appreciate you taking time to say hi
So beautiful!!
One of the most beautiful hikes in Washington. Thanks for the support!
❤️
Wow! What a view... After the hike up I'd just jump into one of the lakes on the way back! Amazingly clean water!
YES! Krzysztof, that is exactly what a lot of people do. Amazing blue water when you get to see it up close. Thank you for watching and thank you so much for taking time to comment.
@@attentiondeficitoutdoors9134 thank you for sharing such a beautiful places because that shows the world still has something to be shown, so to be saved and something to fight for.
The areas in which you joirney are absolitely breathtaking, makes my soul yearn to follow your footsteps. So glad I can follow this way. Thank you.
Your thank you means a lot to me Suzi. I appreciate the thought and time you have put into your comments to me and will work hard to make this better with every video.
I think your video gave a pretty good feeling of what to expect
One of my favorite hikes.
Love the photography. Your videos are stunning
Thank you very much. I am learning and will continue to do my best to bring you something you will enjoy.
Mt. St. Helens.... You'd love that! It's considered a day hike. 100 passes per day.
It is definitely one I want to get in. Have stayed at Seaquest state park a few times and driven in to look at the area, but I hear the hikes that you need a permit/pass for are amazing!

What an amazing hike. Hope you had time to drop a line in those beautiful blue waters. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

CC recommended your channel. Whatever he recommends this retired Navy Chief checks out. You have a new sub. Let’s take a ride!

Great video. I needed it as I'll be hiking there next week. Just curious, how long is the round trip?

@@attentiondeficitoutdoors9134 im out of Bremerton area and have been looking for good local youtubers like you. Keep up the great work.
Outstanding man! thanks!
Thank you for taking time to view and comment. Much appreciated.

Is there a visitor center on that side of the park?

Think this hike is doable in late June? Trying to plan a trip next year
Late June should be open unless they end up with some crazy amount of snow.
Mt. Si?
