my brother was in town from Reno. I asked him if he wanted to do a hike and he said yeah, but nothing too difficult. I have had my eye on Tolmie for a while, but have been reluctant with how popular it is. WTA said 1100 feet elevation gain over 7.5 mile round trip. I figured that would not be too difficult. It wasn't too bad of a hike. My dad, sister, and cousin came too. They stopped at the lookout. I dropped my bag, grabbed my beer and finished the climb to tolmie. That part after the lookout was probably my favorite part. It goes along a ridge that gets a little narrow in places. There were a lot of people at the lookout but I had the peak to myself for a few minutes. Some other people joined me and I asked them to take my picture. This is me on top with Rainier behind.
