Mt. Rainier from Grand Park

Huckleberry Creek/Grand Park Loop

February 03, 2026 by Willis Wall

Height of flower season (July 16, 2025) + gorgeous weather = a feast for the senses! Although not on everyone’s radar, this 26 mile loop with 5,200’ elevation is a gem. Although I started/ended from Sunrise, one could also park at the Lake Eleanor trailhead on FS 73. Although some may consider it a downside, one must exit the park and walk about 4 miles on FS 73 to the Lake Eleanor entrance. Make sure you have enough water for this road walk, as it can be hot. However, roadside flowers will certainly take the sting off. After Lake Eleanor you will transit the entirety of Grand Park before immersing yourself in the flower laden palette of Berkeley Park, fed by Lodi Creek. Filmed in 4k, run time 18:51
