I went for a 2-day trip to Mt. Rainier National Park with my girlfriend. We went up to the Sunrise visitor center/area located at 6400 feet! Needless to say, the drive up is spectacular. Once there, we camped a mile and change from Sunrise near a meadow. The first day we hiked up to Mt. Fremont at almost 7200 feet and the second day to Mt. Dege at around 7000 feet. I'll have pictures up in the next couple of days. These hikes were the most scenic I've ever been on. Most of the trails are surrounded by meadows full of flowers and pine trees. It was very green all around us at this subalpine climate, but above us where ridges full of snow, particularly the big one: Mt. Rainier.

Total: Sunrise-area hikes, Mt. Rainier National Park
