What a beautiful day! We arrived in time for the gorgeous morning light. We hiked the loop clockwise without going up Misery Ridge. All in all we still hike 7.3 miles and gained 2000ft. This was the first time I had ever seen the Cascade volcanoes from this location - from Diamond Peak to Olalie Butte more than 10 snow covered peaks!
