Hiking at Mt. Rainier National Park is another great experience. My husband and I visited there in July of 2011 and were fortunate to have beautiful sunny weather!
This was one of our first views upon entering the Park…
We did a short 1/2 mile hike to see this powerful flow of water…
I believe this is Snow Lake…
We stopped at Reflection Lake…hoping to capture a beautiful reflection shot…but it wasn’t the right time of day and the water wasn’t calm enough. That is snow (in July) around the lake.
A parade of bicyclists came wooshing past us…
This flower and bee were a great find…
Hello future self…from the past self…
We hiked a loop trail named Rampart Ridge Trail that had nice views of Mt. Rainier…
This tree is very unique!
As I write this and view the photos…it transports me back in time. I remember the free feeling…the feeling of being sheltered by the towering trees and the anticipation of what was around the corner.
The treat of seeing a beautiful deer…
Mt. Rainier has a variety of trails, so if you’re able, go take a hike!
