Mt. Rainier

We went hiking at Paradise on Mt. Rainier this weekend. We did awesome! It was our longest hike ever. We went 1.5 miles up to the Skyline trail - it was straight up the whole way! Then, a picnic lunch and back to the car.

On the way, we saw beautiful flowers. Our favorite was this type called "Mouse on a Stick!"

Here we are at a rest stop on the way up.

The wildlife - we saw lots of Marmots! One was at the top of the field playing look-out. He screached and screamed at us to warn the other Marmots to hide.
Here we are with Grandma on the bridge over a waterfall





Ice Cream - a well deserved treat after a long hike!
