I promised Georg the sun would come out. Just as we returned to the car at 3pm it did. Oh well, predicting weather is not an exact science. Foggy with a light drizzle toward the top, but lots of flowers and a deer.
Meet 8 or so hikers. All really nice to talk to and trade hiking info. We have a saying -hike long and early. We classify hikers in 2 groups. Sub and plus 3 milers. In short-hikers with good footwear and packs with all the essentials including water and those totally unprepared. And we find no trash on any of our hikes past the 2-3 mile mark.
As for no view of The Mountain, I will just gaze at the 100 or so I have from other hikes, or better yet, just walk a little bit and see it live today.
Happy hiking.

Ha! I said it would clear up by 3pm, but my best friend said 4:30. She won on the Sunrise side, but I'll tell her I was talking about the Paradise side. I'm certainly not short on Rainier pics. Pick a time of year, pick a mood, blue bird sky or dramatic cloudy sky, sunrise, sunset. It's hard to complain when the sun doesn't come out.
