Mt Rainier - Paradise

Candice and I went to Mt Rainier to check out Paradise and all the wildflowers. It was beautiful, but on the way down, it started to rain pretty heavily.

Candice made fun of me because I brought a mini umbrella with bright polka dots. Apparently that is NOT hiking savvy. LOL I normally don't use an umbrella on a hike, but I didn't bring my hoody :) Live and learn.

Looked like bluebonnets at first
but they grow in a group

Waterfall

We thought we were awesomely strong

Cool looking plant

Feeling the crisp mountain breeze

The trail ended at some snow, so that was that
