August 22

We had a fantastic day visiting Paradise on Mt Rainier. Spent the first part of our day touring the Jackson Visitors Center and the Paradise Inn before hiking the Nisqually Vista Trail. We took a short break for lunch then hiked the Deadhorse Creek and the Moraine trails. We continued onto the non-maintained portion of Moraine trail and were rewarded with sweeping vistas and solitude. Our best day of hiking so far with great views of the mountain, wildflower meadows, marmots, chipmunks, butterflies and the sound of avalanches. https://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/paradise…
Tomorrow we head east for a twelve night stay at O'Sullivan Sportsman Resort near Potholes State Park.Читать далее
