Day Trip to Mt. Rainier National Park

We enjoyed a day trip to Mt. Rainier National Park, driving 75 miles each way to see the sites there. One could easily stay a week (there are 100's of guest rooms to accommodate visitors).

This is a picture of the mountain glacier fields that have dramatically receded (all the rocks in the ravine were ice covered 100 years ago). It is a beautiful viewpoint -- the camera doesn't capture the sense of height and depth you feel at the edge of the mountain.
