Paradise at its Finest!






We spent the weekend with our friends at their vacation home in Packwood, WA. We went on a beautiful hike at Mt Rainer National Park. As we hiked through an area called Paradise, appropriately named because Mt Rainier was amazing! August is my favorite time to hike in this area because of the abundance of wildflowers. We crossed several meadows, streams, and ponds then climbed to a huge peak which overlooked Lake Louise. We then hiked down to reflection lake....3.5 miles of intense beauty!!! I took about 300 pictures, but these are a few of my favorites.
