Road trip #4 – Mount Rainier

Thursday. It was raining. When we got out of our motel, we couldn’t see the mount Rainier: the huge mountain (4 392 m, 14 409 ft) was hidden behind the clouds. We came to see it, but it would just be the great absent of the day. Fortunately the park had many other gems…

Grove of the Patriarchs: gorgeous old trees and a really cool trail
