I’ve posted this hike before, but it’s one of my favorites at Rainier and I got some great photos this time, so here it is again! Wildflowers were at PEAK bloom, it could not have been better! Mosquitoes were not nearly as bad as I thought they would be, so that was another bonus. We got to camp, read for hours, wandered around the lake, and had a very relaxing, lazy afternoon.
We were up at 5 a.m. the next morning and headed to the meadow above the lake, to watch the dawn light hit the Palisades cliffs (along with Jetboil, coffee, and tea). The pink only lasted for a couple of minutes, but it’s so totally worth it, especially with the acres and acres of lupine in full bloom in the foreground. LOVE this place!!!
