Just booked my wilderness pass for Mount Rainier this morning! Going to spend two nights out near Olallie creek, and hike some of the Cowlitz divide. This is the first time I've gone backpacking just with my oldest son, and I am stoked for it.

That’s awesome 🙂
I heard from a guy that used to volunteer there - people underestimate the weather and (hopefully) get rescued on that mountain way more than you would think. Pack accordingly.
😅
We'll be sticking to the lower elevations and thawed parts of the trail, so hopefully we won't hit anything too gnarly. But yeah, planning to prepare well.
I take my kids backcountry once or twice a year. Good times.
