Visit to Mount Rainier National Park

We went down to Mount Rainier National Park the other day for a few short hikes.  It is about 50 miles Southeast of Seattle so we packed a lunch and made a day of it.  It is a really beautiful mountain.  It is amazing to be down in relatively warm weather and see the glaciers up on the mountain.  We will have to come down here again when we have more time to explore and do some camping. 

We also had to clear a fallen tree from the trail so that we could get back out (and to save a trapped baby), but we will save those heroic stories for sharing over a beer.
