Camp Muir, just above the 10,000 foot mark on the south side of Mount Rainier, used to be called “Cloud Camp.” It was renamed in honor of John Muir, who spent a couple of nights here during his climb of the mountain back in 1888.
I haven’t been here since 1996, almost as long as it’s been for Mr. Muir; it feels that way, anyway. I’m overdue.
