Hiked from the White River campground up the Wonderland trail to the Sunrise Visitor Center at Mt. Rainier National Park. Some new snow from the weekend storm and lots of old snow remaining from last winter. Used only boots and gaiters for the snow.
Intermittent snow on trail starting around 5600 ft, continuous snow around 6200 ft.
The road and parking lots at Sunrise are all clear. Didn't see any workers at Sunrise.
Went out on the Sourdough Ridge trail towards Frozen Lake. Turned around went that route became a snow slope to traverse, best to use ice axe and traction device to continue.
