Travel: The Marmot King

Robert writes, "There were marmots all along the Skyline Loop Trail that climbs Mt. Rainier. This one in particular seemed to like all the attention that humans were showing him; every few moments he would strike a new pose, drawing the crowds ever closer.

This trail is a very popular hike in the Park; a 5-plus mile loop. On the day of our visit, the mountain was visible (which is only about half the time) and we had to park about 1/2 mile away from the trailhead. We didn't do the full loop, but thoroughly enjoyed the hike that we did."
