Mount Rainier in August is magical. The wildflowers are in full bloom, the skies are typically bright blue, and the waterfalls add to all the wonder and amazement. The skies at Mt. Rainier are so dynamic. From one moment to the next Mt. Rainier might be out in its full glory or temporarily hidden by clouds.

Summer at Mount Rainier

My Paradise
No Summer is complete without a trip to Paradise and Mt. Rainier. Throughout the day, Mt. Rainier flirted with the clouds and we enjoyed the sunshine and clear hiking trails.
Most people are drawn by the mountain, but in the Summer time it is all about the wildflowers for me. Whenever I am hiking around Mt. Rainier I mention to Cameron how I wish I could live here, in the park that is.

Wildflowers and blue skies
This weekend was spent at Mt. Rainier National Park, where we were able to share a favorite hike with our friends and enjoy all the gorgeous wildflowers. The weather could not have been more picture perfect and given how spectacular it was, the trails were relatively uncrowded.
One of the highlights of our hike was the cute marmot couple we came across. Normally we encounter them individually, so it was sweet to see their interactions. It appeared as though the male was sprawled out on the snow, while the woman was hard at work cleaning debris out of their home.
An apology for his carelessness was given and then an attempt to make it right.
In speaking with a Park Ranger, they informed us the snow finally melted off this trail two weeks ago. I find it utterly breathtaking how all these flowers can come forth after being covered in snow for eight or nine months.
We enjoyed this picture perfect day and the opportunity to share it with friends.
Back at camp we continued burning those calories, as we were kept busy by this cute little guy.
