We went to Mnt Rainier with the Fredas on the weekend of Father’s day. We left in the late afternoon on Friday and got to the Chalet at Alexander’s Inn just as twilight was setting in.
Sara really liked the place, especially the fact that it had a bunny puzzle.
The next day after a hearty breakfast, we headed up the mountain. It was a cloudy day, so views of the peak were iffy. We stopped at Longmire to ask about the new visitor center and to take a picture of the family tree.
We spent the rest of the time up at Paradise. We hiked up to Myrtle falls and I took some pictures. Not very crowded this weekend, that was nice.
That night after the thunderstorms, Bob finally got to eat the fresh trout that he had a conversation with earlier that morning (in the trout pond). Sara did extremely well and sat for nearly an hour and a half since they were very busy that evening.
The next day we were up early and headed for the airport, we drove around the park and had some nice views of the peak that morning. We stopped at Reflection Lakes and were going to try to go to Sunrise, but time ran out.
