Quote Ed G - "Ya know, truth is, geo cachers are more of a problem for the park managers than drug makers are."

Hay, I resemble that remark! and it's Geocachers not geo cachers :)

Actualy, most Geocachers are very friendly, and do their best to make sure not to dammage the parks. In fact, there are NO physical caches on Mount Rainier because the park managers have made it clear they don't want them. In fact I joined a bunch of other cachers this summer volenteering for the cleanup and restoration efforts on the Wonderland Trail.

As for dangers of the trail, you're far more likely to be attacked by a bear then a person on the trail. Your car is a much more likely target and I suggest being dropped off and picked up for extended hikes.
