On Saturday we traveled to Mossyrock, WA, and stayed at a private campground. We had a site on Lake Mayfield. The site was really nice and quiet.
On Sunday we traveled, along with thousands of others, to Mt. Rainier. After entering the park we stopped at Klautz Creek. Then onto Longmire Museum which had displays about the area. We took a hike through the forest and saw three mineral springs.
After the hike we continued on to Paradise about 19 miles away. We stopped, ate a picnic lunch and then hiked down to Narada Falls where the river flows down the 168 ft. rocks. The falls were so beautiful and you could see a rainbow that was reflected from the rocks. Gorgeous! Then on to Paradise where there is a hotel and visitor center. Little did we know that hundreds of other people had the same idea as us. When we got to the Paradise area, the main parking lot was full and the overflow was just as full. We drove around again and decided to just drive through the area. We stopped along the road at different intervals to take pictures of Mt. Rainier. It is 14,467 ft tall. Also the meadow around Mt. Rainier was beautiful. The leaves are slowly starting to turn and Sunday was a warm, beautiful day. There are still a few types of flowers blooming.
