One of the joys of our US road trips has been to visit a number of our National Parks. This Northwest trip afforded us the opportunity to visit Mount Ranier NP.
One of many falls in Mount Rainier NP
"...the most luxuriant and the most extravagantly beautiful of all the alpine gardens I ever beheld in all my mountain-top wanderings." John Muir, 1889

Mount Rainier is the tallest peak in the contiguous 48 States. It has 26 glaciers; some may advance or melt as much as 3 feet in a single day!
