He got it right, because the wildflower meadows around Mt. Rainier\u00a0 are second to none that I’ve ever seen. Though the Paradise\/Skyline area is crowded in summertime, it’s worth the crowds to see these wildflowers and incredible views at least once every summer. It’s so different seeing it melted out and blooming, compared to when I do this as a snow-shoe route several times every winter. Crowded? Yes. Worth it? You bet!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
