Third Burroughs Mountain via Sunrise Rim Trail GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Fairly moderate uphill to Second Burroughs, but steep to the top of Third. Mt. Rainier in the distance is stunning. Really wide trails with lots of erosion cutting into the landscape. Popular hike overall.
