Day 12 - A Visit to Mt. Rainer

Moving north - our purpose is to see Mt. Rainer

This is the area around our campground - near Silver Creek



More Christmas Trees







And off we go to Mt. Rainer.
It's a very overcast day!

Enjoying the view along the trip.
The scenery is breathtaking!












And we arrive at Paradise - the best viewing for Mt. Rainer
Unfortunately - it is covered with clouds!




This is our view of the mountain.


This is a dying plant but looked so lacy.


The lodge at Paradise - very inviting!




A hike to the waterfall out of from the Paradise visitor center.
I love waterfalls and there are an abundance of them in Oregon and Washington!

We walked all the way up to the waterfalls and my phone was dead!!
Fortunately Tom could take pictures!







And so many waterfalls on the trip down the northwest side of the mountain








And finally - we were blessed with a partial view of
the mighty mountain!

Those are glaciers.


What a great way to get my 10,000 steps!!
