We spent the night in Leavenworth and also visited Lake Chelan on that trip. In September of this year, we went to Mt. Ranier and stayed at the Paradise Inn. Ranier is one of the more prominent peaks in all of North America, imo.
“AI” then “IE”. Rainier.
Those are some of our favorite places. Paradise Inn is the greatest — I love those old National Park Lodges. I first stayed there in 1974 when I did some engineering work in the Northwest and we stayed there again about five years ago.
Be sure to get to the Olympic Peninsula, too. Magnificent mountains over there and some VERY wet rainforest nearby, too.
