My job interview shoes :'( ... This trip made me realize that Timberland makes darn good shoes. Posted by Picasa

On the way back, Brian, who is Ali's close hiking friend dropped me home. I gotta take this photo because of this car! Anyway, he said he was thinking of changing to BMW which made me real sad... :P Posted by Picasa

Me and the Three Finger in the back. Do I look like a hiker??? Posted by Picasa

This was from the point we stopped and turned back after 6-hour hike. Do you see a blue dot at the top of second mountain? That is the lookout my boss intended to take us to. I just found in the website just now about this trail "The hike to the lookout is very difficult and strenuous. The last 0.5 mile of the trail requires mountain climbing equipment expertise. A short, steep section of the Three Fingers Glacier must be traversed, followed by a rocky scramble and ascent of steep ladders to the lookout on the south peak of Three Fingers Mountain. As there is considerable exposure, those using the cabin and ladder must determine for themselves if the climb to the lookout is safe. Maintenance of the lookout is performed by Everett Mountaineers."

Lesson learned: Study the trail before you go hiking! Posted by Picasa

It was initiated by my boss-Ali who is a serious hiker. We went to Three Finger/Goat Flats. The trail was super hard for me (but my boss mentioned it before we went as 'not super easy') We didn't make it to the lookout since it may have taken us too long but the distance in total was 12 miles. We went up at 11am and came down at 9pm :S This is not even close to my last hike at Rainier... Posted by Picasa
