This past weekend we needed a little 'fix.' Where else to turn to than the mountains? We haven't been to Rainier in a month or so, and we've heard they've been getting some snow, so we packed up our daypacks and headed up.
The beginning of our drive: pouring down rain
Just inside the park and gaining elevation: first sight of snow
Up at Paradise Visitor Center: Snowy tracks. The Xterra did mighty fine as Brooke went tearing through there
The snow was beautiful (and quiet) but unfortunately, it was still raining/sleeting/hailing up there. Just wasn't cold enough I guess. We ran into a dozen or so skiers/snowboarders who packed up their gear and hiked out to a big snow field below a glacier. Sounds fun! Maybe next year?
Is that my husband hiding under that big marshmallow coat?
Andrea can't help but play in the snow like a little kid.
Here...catch!
I love this man!
Peaceful & serene
The fog rolling in...there was a big storm coming soon
The Nisqually Glacier. A little dry this time of year, but will hopefully be filled with snow on our next trip.
