Westy its grand to see you back, and thrilling to see your new pics...thanks for the pic of Mt. Rainier, from Sunrise....

We love to go up to Sunrise in the summer, which is the only time one can get up there....gives a whole different perspective on Rainier, from the usual Paradise sighting...We were up to Rainier over Mothers Day, which is obviously too soon for the road to Sunrise being cleared of snow, and will probably be going up to Rainier in the fall, which then will be too late to get up to Sunrise, as the road is already getting snowed in and its closed....

The drive through the park from the Nisqually Entrance, all the way over to Sunrise, is a long, wonderful, leisurely drive through the forest, past the waterfalls, near the various lakes, going up and down, the road twisting and turning, and sightings of wildlife(still no Sasquatch), are amazing....

So glad, Westy that you have decided to join us again...you were very much missed...
