The trails are all in excellent condition. The bridges are all in place and easy to cross. Sunrise parking area was icy in the early morning and Mystic Lake was starting to freeze (little sun there). There was no fresh snow anywhere along the trail. The highlight for me was seeing the massive Carbon Glacier terminus. There were some good blueberries still on the approach to Lake James. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bravenboer/51543099618/in/album-72157719948829736" title="Mt Rainier and the West Fork White River drainage"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51543099618_a6a7a006c0_b.jpg" alt="Mt Rainier and the West Fork White River drainage"/></a> <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bravenboer/51543090488/in/album-72157719948829736" title="Terminus of the Carbon Glacier"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51543090488_3c459929f2_b.jpg" alt="Terminus of the Carbon Glacier"/></a>
