I took the day off on Friday and we drove to the south side of Mt. Rainier. I had forgotten how beautiful the Paradise hikes are. We normally visit Sunrise to the North, but the Paradise route is much closer to the mountain. The temperatures in Seattle were horrible (mid-90’s), but 3 1/2 miles or so into our hike up the mountain we came across a large snow field. I think the kids were a little perplexed given how hot it was. It was great watching floridians having a snowball fight on the side of a mountain in late July in 90+ degree heat
We couldn’t have asked for a better day! Click on the picture to check out a number of the better shots that I took!
