Well summer is in full swing on Mt. Rainier! The sun is shining, birds are chirping and trails are snow free!

The snow is almost all the way melted at our sites and some flowers are already up. The only site that still had some snow was site 9 and it was only half covered on June 9th.

For MeadoWatch that means we need your data now more than ever.

The two data drop boxes have been installed, one at L112 behind the Wilderness Information Center and the newest one is installed on the Glacier Basin Trail map, just as you start down the trail. Feel free to deposit your data in either of these drop boxes.

If you would like to camp at White Rive campground or at the Historic Longmire Campground, please let me know at least 2 weeks in advance with how many night you would like to stay (max of 2) and how many people will be in your party.

Looking forward to seeing you on the trail!
