On that Seattle link, did you click onto the pic, labeled 'View from Paradise'....BigDom and I love to go up to that area...

Paradise is the overlook where the Jackson Visitor center is...its a wonderful Visitor center, with lots and lots of exhibits, and pictures, and films, and then up at the top of it, its just all windows, and you can really view Rainier...they also have a super tourist shop, with lots of one of my favorite things, Mt. St. Helens glass...
The Jackson visitor center is open all year round, and its great year round, but more so in the winter, when the snow is piled 20ft high along the road....

When we get up there at the top, Bigdom and I just like to sit in the car, with front of the car pointed outward, facing the horizon....we eat a few pieces of chicken, drink a few beers, and just sit there and contemplate the beauty of the mountains...

If one gets up to Paradise during the summer, you can drive a little past the Jackson Visitor Center, and then you come to another lodge, with a fabulous tourist shop, a restaurant, and a very large downstairs area, where one can sit and enjoy a fire in the huge fireplace, and admire the rustic insides of the lodge...

Upstairs, there are rooms for rent, from where one has a fabulous view of the mountains...

Its romantic, heavenly, and just sheer pleasure...

Still bumping around that fabulous link...

Please, next time, take out the Chair Insurance coverage.

I love you guys and the joy that you bring through the Doorway.

Laters Gang. Rest very well. JL
