Photos of the Mt Rainier hikes

Mt Rainier and the reflecting pools

Earth Dates: 2014, July 12th and 13th
Location: Along the route from Paradise to Sunrise, Mt Rainier National Park

Amanda and Zach have already covered our hikes throughout Mt Rainier National Park. This post will contain very few words; instead my goal is simply to add a few pictures from our hike.

As navigator, I will add a map showing the parts of the park that we visited throughout our two days. The short version is we went from Longmire -- Ohanapecosh -- Sunrise, making the southern and eastern edges of a "box" around Rainier. [Given that we were stained in Ohanapecosh, the order we did this trail is not as advertised above!] The detailed picture:

Onto the pictures with captions:

Grove of the Patriarchs: A cool swing bridge and some large trees, but not much else.
