On June 28th, my husband and I headed to the Sunrise portion of Mt. Rainier to hike. When we arrived, thick clouds obscured our views... But we still set out on our hike along Sourdough Ridge Trail. Not even 20 minutes in, the clouds began to lift and we could see the mountain. Originally, we were only going as high as First Burroughs Mountain, but we decided to go up to Second Burroughs before loping back.

A vertical landscape photograph of rolling hills and a low mountain in front of a massive snow-covered mountain. The closest hills are blanketed with wildflowers, which give way to conifer trees and green grass farther off. The lower mountain appears mostly brown, but has a few patches of snow still covering it. Wispy clouds fill the valley between the lower mountain the the foreground hills.
The view from Second Burroughs. A photograph of a large snow-covered mountain peak, seen from a rather close distance. Clouds move in front of the mountain and cast shadows on the ground. The foreground is a rocky top of a smaller mountain. A handful of people are visible on the right of the frame, helping to give scale to the big mountain.
A view of a glacier-carved valley between Mt. Rainier and the rocky hiking trail. The valley is mostly forested with green trees. A bright blue lake is visible in the valley. Looking at the side of the mountain, one can see the headwaters of a fork of the White River at the base of Emmons Glacier.

I just got back from spending four days at Mt. Rainier National Park. One of the hikes I did there was the popular Skyline Trail out of Paradise. Thankfully, it was a very clear day and the nearby wildfires weren't causing too much smoke in the park. The wildflowers were beautiful and there was still snow covering portions of the trail.

A photograph of the same snow-covered mountain, seen from a higher elevation. The mountain fill s the frame. A few small clouds sit near the mountain's peak, while the rest of the sky is blue. Glaciers are visible on the mountain.
A photograph looking through a tall tunnel, carved through snow by a small stream. The stream can be seen in the lower portion of the frame. The scene beyond the tunnel shows ridges of lower mountains, tinted blue due to smoke.
