Seattlest Day Trips to Mount Rainier (in Photos)

This version of the Paradise Visitor Center opened last year, but it still has that new visitor center smell! (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.
