Driving up to Mount Rainier


We thought we would drive as far as we could up Mount Rainier and then hike around. We were so unprepared! It snows all year round up there (it had snowed the day before...). We dressed as warmly as we could (I pretty much wore all the clothes I had packed), but hiking required snow shoes. The road driving up was lined on both sides by super huge snow drifts. We enjoyed the visitor's center at the top as well as the amazing views. Someday we will go back and make it to the top! All 14,411 feet of it.
