Northern Loop Trail, Part 6 of 6

Mystic Lake. This lake is geothermally heated. That's why you see it steaming.

Part of Mt. Rainier and Mystic Lake.

Mount Rainier and Willis Wall as we climb toward Curtis Ridge.

Pacific Point. One possible route to Elysian Fields is to hike cross country from where we are up to the left of Pacific Point.

The Carbon Glacier.

Ellen crossing the suspension bridge over the Carbon River. Ipsut Creek and the end of this hike is not much further down the trail from here.
