Mount Rainier visit continued. From Paradise, you can drive for half an hour or so and be down in the old growth. This is my favorite kind of hiking. It's usually shady and green, the air has a delicious rich smell of forest, and there is a lot of pleasure in the details of mushrooms and leaf shapes and bark.
We had one lovely walk by a riverbank, where we picked up an abandoned inflatable. Who could resist?
The last time we visited Mt. Rainier, Jordan learned to walk on logs, and this year he again did it every chance he got. It still makes my heart go into my mouth, so I sometimes don't watch.
Aaron is dying to do exactly what Jordan does, in all things.
At the end of our lovely hiking days, it was a pleasure to enjoy the sunset back at Paradise.
