Mt. Rainier

In the car driving around the mountain

Just beyond the hill is the volcano crater, which we couldn't see through the fog.

Here are some pictures from our trips up Mt. Rainier. Hopefully this will inspire some of you to come visit us! We can be there in less than 1 hour from our house. We have driven around the entire mountain twice and have been on several smaller trips as well. There are SO many waterfalls and streams and everything is so scenic and pretty! We love spending time there. 

These pictures are from a place called Paradise, on the south side of the mountain. There are whole fields of wildflowers and plenty of streams, waterfalls, and trails. It's just above 5,000'.

There is a visitors center and lodge to stay the night

These are from another trip when we just went searching for waterfalls. We found tons!

We went in June and there was still this much snow, even though we didn't get any at our house all winter.

They're all over just on the side of the road!
