    Default Just finished the Wonderland Trail

    I did it in 9 days, but it could have been 6. With reserved campsites, you really can use every hour of daylight.

    Good elevation climbs, well done trail, small, nice campsites, and plenty of mountain lake swimming and bears. The bugs can be bad, but no worse than New England in summer. Did some snowfields, but nothing technical this late in the year. Would recommend.

    Really enjoyed your report. Pictures are impressive even though they probably do not do justice to what you really experienced.

    Stunning! I did Wonderland back in 2019 and didn't actually see Rainier in its entirety until my last day coming down from Summerland. It rained almost every day. Actually enjoyed the experience and can say I got to experience true PNW weather at its finest. Thanks for sharing!
    It is what it is.

    I did a figure 8 of the Northern Loop and Mother Mountain in mid August and had a spectacular time. Your trip report is very informative and will be useful to anyone planning a trip.
