Majestic Mount Rainier

Friday afternoon Rosie and I had an unforgettable time near Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park. It was a gorgeous day, and there are surely not many more left like that in 2010 in western Washington. As the sun was getting low we hiked to the saddle of Pinnacle Peak. It was an unforgettable walk.

The wildflowers were brilliant.
The trail had countless jaw dropping views of majestic Mount Rainier. Here is Rosie in a triumphant pose along the way.
When we got to the saddle we could see down the other side into the deep valleys with Mount Adams on the horizon.
At the saddle with Mount Rainier in all its glory.
