I recently met up with my daughter for a day hike at Mt. Rainier National Park.

From the Sunrise Visitors Center on the Northeast corner of the mountain, we hiked the trail to the Mt. Fremont Lookout.

As the day progressed, the light on Mt. Rainier washed out. I then focused on the close-up intimate landscape scenes, capturing elevated scenes of the alpine forests and meadows.

The weather was sunny but comfortably warm. We were fortunate to see several marmots and one solo mountain goat (look for it in one of the photos).

We finished the hike by taking the longer route to the visitors’ center, crossing a snowfield, and past Shadow Lake before returning to our vehicles.
