Burroughs Mountain Trail
Difficulty level: Moderate
Distance: ~9.5 miles
Elevation gain: ~2600 feet
Time to complete: ~5.5 Hours
This is one of the scenic hikes of Mount Rainier national park after Skyline loop. We saw a mountain goat at the beginning and that was the highlight of our trip. We did this hike in Early September. Weather was good and temperature was approximately 69 Fahrenheit. Best time to visit this trail is from July through September.
This hike is accessible from Sunrise Visitor Center. This trail is mostly sandy but there are certain rocky sections as well. You will pass 2 lakes along the way, frozen lake and shadow lake. There are also camping sites on south side of the loop at Sunrise Camp.
It is heavily exposed the entire way, so I recommend bringing sunscreen and lots of water.
Passes: America is beautiful for entry into Mount Rainier park.
Additional:
1. Dogs not allowed
2. Internet will not work so I recommend downloading maps before going there.
3. There was a very long queue at the entrance at 10AM. I would recommend going early.
We waited 2 hours for the entrance as they were only allowing limited number of vehicles inside. So we were supposed to wait until a vehicle is coming out of the park.

Pier 54
On a sunny day, you can watch Olympic range from here.
Good place to walk around but there is always some construction going on in this area.
