Vacation 2009-Day 5, Mt. Rainer-WA

On our way home, we decided to take the "back" road to Mt. Rainier. Another beautiful day, hardly any clouds in the sky, no rain, no wind and the temperature was in the mid-80's. We have been told that it was actually a "miracle" to get to see Mt. Rainier on a clear day! It is usually foggy or cloudy around the top of the mountain.

Mike got this close up. I was looking closely at the top...it looks like there is no snow on the tip of the mountain and it also looks like there was an avalanche on the mountain.
This picture reminds me of the "Rainier Beer" commercial when I was little!
We had a wonderful time while on vacation. It is amazing all the things you get to see and do and the time just flies by! I know we had basically the same trip last year, but we did do a lot more...hiking and enjoying the scenery.
