On Day 9 we completed the loop by going from Maple Creek Camp to our starting point at Longmire. It was a relaxing finish to a sometimes challenging journey. Serena (my youngest) declared at the end that, while glad she did it, she would not do another. A few months later she asked me when we would do another journey.

Our morning starts out with one last climb.

Mt. Rainier looming large for one last day.

Our last rest stop at Reflection Lakes

Carter Falls

Finished!

My family thru-hiked the Wonderland Trail, circumventing Mt. Rainier. Here are shots of our most spectacular moment, reaching Panhandle Gap at 6750′. For more photos go to The Middle Class Forum.

Civilization is the cause and nature the answer to some of the problems we face. Understanding natural rights, natural belonging and natural learning will restore a natural balance to our lives. I have 15,000+ miles worth of tales and photography from wilderness backpacking trails for conveying a message of natural balance.
