Woodswalker went hiking September 6, 2021 8 miles 2,000 feet gained
I'd never been to Mt Rainier so I woke up early and drove to Paradise Park. It was crowded until about 1 and then it cleared out. I also found some short spurs up there that hardly anyone was on. I spent a lot of time in quiet places just sitting and staring at the mountain and views. Completely amazing.
