Ref.#18 2838 ~ Marmot in Paradise
On my first trip to Mt. Rainier I found myself being summoned by someone with a very shrill whistle. The problem was no one was anywhere near me. A hiked a bit farther and another whistle ….. no one? Then I saw this little furry beast standing on a rock about 50 feet away.
The marmot (or hoary marmot) is very common to the area. A large member of the squirrel family, marmots send out their shrill whistle to warn of intruders. They are quite social and you may see several at a time. They will hibernate in their burrows through the winter for up to nine months, long enough for the deep snow to melt away.
