Thursday, 6-26
So we left Glacier National Park early today and headed out on 94 for the great mountain known as Mount Rainier. The drive was very scenic, many tall pine trees, rivers, and agricultural fields were passed. The roads were curvy, threading their way through the mountains like a great snake. As we traveled, I (Mark), sat on the seat next to the window for the whole drive (since the insurance won't cover under 21 years of age.) Since this was my plight, I was able to become the official photographer of the day. The mountains were beautiful as we approached them. Winding our way up to Mount Rainier, we pulled out onto a scenic view point. Here, we were lucky to catch a glimpse of the very peak of Mount Rainier. Snow was covering the top and clouds were drifting around, often hiding the peak. About 10pm we arrived in Seattle, WA. It was a shock to enter an area so urban compared to Montana and East Washington.
