Fagin's Hike of the Week- Shriner Peak

We hiked to this former fire lookout at Mt. Rainier Park on 11-13-19 and saw just patches of snow at 5000'. No snow at the summit of about 5800'. The area might get 2 to 3" of new snow on Friday (11-15-2019) or the next day, but the trail should still be easy to follow. This Saturday 11-16-2019 better weather compared to Sunday 11-17-2019 which will bring heavy precipitation.
