Mountain Rainer NP

@MrsGarciaK Melissa Rodriguez, Per 6

On a nice typical day, a typical ranger would go out and make sure everything is the way nature intends it to be ☀️

Paradise is famous for its glorious views and wildflower meadows. In the winter there is about 643 inches of snow!

At an elevation of 6,4000, Sunrise is located 60 miles northeast of the Nisqually Entrance. Second most visited area

When visiting me, you should definitely take advantage of the incredible scenery and unbelievable wildlife by taking a hike

My friend, Emmons Glacier, is 4.3 square miles. He's one of the 25 glaciers that live in my neighborhood #geology101
