Any recommendations for a day trip to Rainier where there are the most wildflowers growing? Thanks.

savaiusini: Can you please post the conditions for skiing the n.f. of observation rock. I am thinking of doing it this week or weekend. Thanks.

Has anyone been up either of these two routes lately? If so, how is the snow/ice like?

Skied off the summit about 2 weeks ago. It was great. We got to the top pretty late, around 3pm and found skiable slush down the roman wall and deming glacier. The parties we were passing on our way up reported icy conditions on the roman wall. We didnt have to take off our skiis once.
