Climb to Camp Muir
The last picture in this sequence is of a crevasse that is deep and wide. Scary. Some were flagged, most were not. I took a route that had NO foot prints--which was not wise. I'll post more later. I was not allowed to climb to Rainier's summit because I was traveling alone, and would need a climbing partner--So, I just hiked to the Rainier base camp called Camp Muir. This was a beast of a hike/climb. I loved it.
Driving to Olympic National Park in Washington State
I was amazed by the dirt devil tornado winds that were ALL over the place when I was driving from Spokane to Olympic National Park! They were really neat to watch! I saw at least 20! Since it takes so long to upload pictures, I'm going to post the rest from Olympic NP later. It was misty and foggy most of the trip in the park, so I don't have as many pretty pictures. However, I'm going to skip into my Mt.Rainier National Park visit.... Which was FRIGGIN' AMAZING!
Glacier NP Lodge
The last picture is of a trail blasted into the side of the mountain--called the Highline trail. If you click on the picture to see the full size, you can see 2 hikers, one in a red jacket. Pretty awesome, yet disturbing in the fact they blasted out part of the mountain to place a trail.
