I wonder if the vine maples will be getting bright red on the mountain yet? They look so pretty in the fall.

Things may be really colorful up there by now...when we got up there in the summer, the spring flowers are in bloom up on the mountain....and when you go up there in early fall, often the colors are much more vivid up there, than down in the lower elevations...

Thats the advantage of the completely different environment up on the mountain, as opposed to down here in Olympia...heck, when we someimes go up there over Memorial Day, its warm in Olympia, and there is still a ton of snow to play in, up at the Jackson Visitor Center...

Its really like a whole other world up there...when we have spent the whole day up there, I always hate to leave...

A few years back, we went camping up there for a week...it was one of the best weeks ever...it was in the summer, so we got to go throughout the whole park, and got to go over to Sunrise Point, which is only open for two months of the year....a whole different view and perspective of the mountain from what you see up at Paradise...
