I saw Devin's post of July 3 reporting the conditions on the Phelps Creek trail but I'm wondering if anyone has been on the trail in the last week. I'm supposed to lead an "easy" backpacking trip on that trail to Spider Meadow this weekend and am wondering just how difficult those creeks are to cross now and if the snow on the trail poses much difficulty. Thanks! Rebecca

Hi all, Just a note that we've been updating the Mount Rainier Climbing blog quite a bit lately with weather, road, and route condition udpates so check it out if you haven't been there in a while. (I am helping Mike Gauthier out with this blog so you will see posts from me here occasionally.)
