A view of Mt Rainier from SR7. A splendid 30 mile drive from here takes you through innumerable lakes, water falls, snow capped hillocks and an interesting gift shop (which I'll cover in another post). This view of the mountain behind the lush green meadows and the grazing cattle.... the moment I saw, I pulled my (actually Microsoft's) Chevy Cobalt over to the shoulder of the busy road, flashed the emergency lights and set out with my cam to take this pic.
A closer view of the peak.... still about 10 miles of driving left. There was actually a beautiful stream flowing below the trees (not in the pic) making it a much better view than seen here, but this is the best I could cover without getting myself squashed between the cars on road
There was a small stretch of the road where we couldn't get a glimpse of the peak. This is what we would see.. This one, I shot from the moving car, single handed, as I was driving ;)
And finally.. after a 2 hr drive, we are all set to enter the National park. The entrance reminds me of the entrance to Jurassic park
