 |
| On the way to Mt. Rainer from our motel we stopped to view the falls close to the road. |

|
| The base of the falls |
 |
| Interesting thing was that all the water from the falls went underground at the base. It surfaced a 1/4 or so downstream from the 'insertion point'. |
|
| Up the hill from Paradise |
 |
| From the Paradise lodge we hiked up the hill towards the glacier. This was the view from a half mile or so from the lodge and parking lot. |
|
| Mt. Rainer flowers |
 |
| Same location as the previous picture. Just better lighting and a slightly different view. |
|
| Barb on the trail |
 |
| On the way to the glacier. Very nice trail at the start. |

| Our first view of the glacier |
 |
| |
|
| Marmot -- almost unafraid |
 |
| We saw at least three marmots. They didn't take too much notice of us unless we got closer than about 20 feet. |
