Emmons Glacier from Second Burroughs

When Tim, my wife (shown in the photo) and I hiked the Sunrise area of Mount Rainier last August, this is where we had our lunch. Emmons Glacier on the Northeast shoulder of Rainier looks very close but is still a long way off. We had hiked the First and Second Burroughs trails and would hike part of the Third Burroughs trail as well each brining us closer to Rainier itself and each with its spectacular views of Rainier.
