Day 268 – Magnificent Mount Rainier (Part 2)

Day 268 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

I’m sitting here writing my post on Sunday, September 11.  I generally write them the day of or the day after despite it sometimes takes even longer to get them posted to the Internet.  My regular readers have probably noticed that I always write the post as if I am writing it the “day of”.  Today, I have to say that I just noticed I
mistakenly deleted all of yesterday’s photos this morning off my SD card.  The card was full and for some reason as I started my hike this morning, I thought I downloaded yesterday’s photos.  This event capped off a remarkably crappy September 11 which I will post tomorrow.

Day 267 – Magnificent Mount Rainier

Day 267 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

Mount Rainier

I think we drove close to seventy miles through farmland and along the Naches River which runs through the trail laced Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest before we climbed over Chinook Pass and rounded the bend for a magnificent view of Mount Rainier. The ice-capped Mount Rainier, a dormant volcano, stands at 14,411 feet and towers over everything around it; lakes, evergreens, meadows of wildflowers, and additional peaks.
