A hot, short day hike near Mt Rainier. The Corral Pass Road (FS7174) was 6 miles of steep, narrow, and rocky road that was a challenge to my Honda Element. But we made it up and back and had an immensely scenic walk in the silver ghost forest of the Norse Peak Wilderness. I thought I was returning to Noble Knob by a different route. It's possible to hike through to Noble (2.5 miles from here, but it's less hair raising to take the longer, gentler logging roads from just outside Greenwater. Good company with Alison and Dora. Phenomenal views of the Mt R, the distant Enchantments, Mt Adams and a slice of the Goat Rocks. Flowers are almost spent here.
