Almost Paradise, we're knocking on heaven's door...Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

All kidding aside, (and those were all song lyrics, every last, painful one of them) these are photos of Mount Rainier in Washington state, and it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The scenery is breathtaking and my camera does not BEGIN to do it justice. In the last two shots we were in the aptly named wildflower meadow at Paradise which is just a few miles from the summit. The wildflower meadow is just one of several hikes at Paradise, and I can't wait to go back and take in some of the others. While hiking we saw several deer, a grey fox and a badger.

Next time I want to reserve a cabin and stay at the darling little Gateway Inn at Mt. Rainier, which is just 50 feet away from the entrance to the park at Paradise.
