Mt Rainier decided to hide under epic storm clouds during our last visit to the park during early June. Not only we couldn't see the peak of this mighty mountain but most of the hikes that we planned were under thick snowpack and all we could do was to drive around the narrow park roads photographing waterfalls and hope for a glimpse of the mountain when the winds whip up the clouds.
Thankfully there was no shortage of waterfalls all along the park. Thanks to the snowmelt almost all the waterfalls were in full flow. This waterfall is basically a roadside waterfall that didn’t even have a proper turnout. Thankfully not many cars came while I took this shot. Hope you all like it.

Finally, let get to a shot of the mighty Mt Rainier from our recent trip to Washington. We were at Mt Rainier National Park for three days and couldn’t even determine where the actual mountain was due to the extensive cloud cover. Plus, most of our hiking trails that we marked were still under thick layers of snow and ice. We saw this view for about 30 minutes just before we were schedule to leave for Trout Lake. It felt like Mt Rainier relenting to our pleas and prayers and finally revealing the peak of one of the most stunning Mountain Peaks in all of the North Americas.
We cant wait to get back here again.
