Last night we stayed in the small town of Packwood. The Cowlitz hotel was quite old but it was clean and I would stay there again. We woke up early again and had a bit longer drive to get to the Sunrise area of Mount Rainier. It was pretty cool to see the mountain from a different side. We hiked to the Mt Fremont Fire Tower Lookout. Good hike with tons of marmots. I would end the day with a new daily marmot record of 11. The layers of mountains you could see on this hike were awesome - layers and layers and layers. We decided to add on The First Burroughs hike to get a little closer view of the mountain. We had a snack up there. Yesterday was eating with goats and today was eating with mosquitoes. We hiked the longer way back to the trailhead and had a trunk lunch sitting in the parking lot on our backpacking chairs we brought. Lunch tastes better in a parking lot after a hike. We drove to Leavenworth which was a bit of a drive. Leavenworth is a little German themed town. We stayed in a Hampton Inn and had disappointing pizza. We also watched a little Titanic for evening relaxing entertainment. Darren and I often tend to watch older movies when staying in hotels and it makes me smile.
