2006.04.23 - Drive To Mt Rainier
< Back to Currently
               
The Shadow Lady went on a business Trip, so I went to Mt Rainier to check out the snow, kill off a day, and otherwise keep myself busy... I ended up having a GREAT time!

The closer you got, the better the view!

The snow got pretty deep as I headed higher up the slopes of the mountain...
By the time I got to the Paradise parking lot... the snow was VERY deep!  Its amazing they could keep the place open!
Walking up to the entrance of the Pavilion... it was pretty impressive!
inside, there's several displays, information placards, a display of animals in the park, and a move theater.

The view from the panorama of the top floor of the Pavilion is VERY impressive!

There were placards describing the view...
Driving back down, I really enjoyed the views of glaciers, forest lined roadways... I had a great time, and took my time driving back.
Pizza in Elbe, and a parting view of the mountain finished out a great day.
