Hiked with kids
Paradise was quite busy on a gorgeous day like this past Sunday, but we got to enjoy some brief uninterrupted views of Rainier and surrounding scenery. We hiked it with 3 kiddos: a 7yr old, 4yr old and 2yr old. Going counter clockwise on the trail, the first .50mi was pretty rough on the kiddos because of the steep ascent up to a perfect little picnic area with great views. After that, it was easy and the kids enjoyed the rest of the loop. The wildflowers are mostly gone now but it's still gorgeous up there!
