Mt. Rainier

Glacier Hunting

Hiking away, we stopped to take in how far we had gone. The sky was open and blue and hills decorated with snow pack. Still a while to go

The bottom of the mountain was a disaster area. Runoff from the melting of the snow packs all formed a large river that devastates all in it's path. Getting here took avoiding flash flood warnings and falling rock signs clearly posted next to building sized boulders.

Now, in the sub-alpine area of the mountain, the wildflowers coat the landscape. We were told of there being small animals called pikas. They collect the wild flowers to build their nests.
