I'm so glad I was able to meet up with Shelly while she was out visiting the Pacific Northwest, and spent a day hiking around Mt. Rainier. We knew going into the hike that the weather forecast wasn't the greatest, but crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. We were met by lots and lots of fog, slippery snow, mist, cold temps, and little to no views all the way to the top. BUT THEN, magically the skies cleared and the mountains showed themselves as though it was just for us and stayed that way for the hike back down. Mt. Rainier didn't show itself but at that point, we were just happy to have whatever view we could get. The wildflowers were out in full force and if you know me, you know I go a little crazy over taking photos of flowers. Overall, the day definitely ended up being a success.
