August 7, 2017 Day Trip to Mt. Rainier

"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!"

Here is the pictorial record of our day trip to Mt. Rainier.

Glacier melt is always a silty-gray in color from picking up the silt and dust as it leaves the glacier.

Glen and Gary watching the hikers 

There goes the hikers--about 500 yards from Glen and Gary

Yes, there are leaves changing colors

Driftwood root wad in the middle of the rocky stream bed

One of many waterfalls seen today

Same waterfall as above, but up the road above the waterfall

Rugged beauty

These waterfalls were about 3 miles away--really zoomed in

Scar of rock slide down the mountain and across the road

Mt. Rainier peeking through the clouds

Just barely visible

This was the best view all day.

My honey.

This box canyon was 180 feet from highway to the water; and 13' at its narrowest.

 Is this enough pictures? I have several pictures of wildflowers.  I like the bright colors of these mountain wildflowers.  You will have to let me know if this is too much on one page.  I can do a separate entry.  Talk to me!

Aren't they beautiful?
Have a great week.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to our son and daughter in law....Darin and Sarah!
