Seattlest Day Trips to Mount Rainier (in Photos)

From a distance, Mount Rainier looks like it's just sitting there all day. Well, it's not. Very busy mountain, in fact, doing all sorts of mountain stuff. Try not to get in the way. (MvB)

So last Tuesday we took the day off and took advantage of our drought *koff koff* for a non-cloud-enshrouded trip to Mount Rainier. At 8:30 a.m. we were driving south down I-5, to 405, to 167, to 161, which took us through South Hill and Eatonville, and then it was 7 to 706, which drops you right at the door of Mount Rainier. The door costs $15 per car, or $5 if you're a person. Either way, it's the best damn money you're likely to spend in your life.
