Skyscraper Mountain

My good friend, Ron, was in town, so a visit to the mountains was required.  We headed up to the Sunrise area of Mount Rainier National Park (again), and hiked to Skyscraper Mountain.  There was a nip to the air (high of around 50 degrees) and a bit breezy ... signaling the oncoming fall/winter weather.  But it was invigorating.  The top of Rainier was obscured by a cloud cap, and there were a few clouds moving around lower, providing interesting views.  And the crowds were sparse!  Very nice for what was probably the last hike of the year in the Pacific Northwest.
