[Part 1 of 3]
Friday I headed down to check out the wildflower displays at Mount Rainier. This actually marked the first time that I’ve witnessed peak blooms at Mount Rainier. All the photos you’ve seen in picture books just doesn’t compare to the real thing. I decided to break up the day’s photos into three separate blog posts based on where I visited. This first post covers the time I spent around Tipsoo Lake at Chinook Pass.
I didn’t arrive until mid-day so the lighting was rather harsh and so was the thick haze that’s developed during this very dry stretch. A report from another photographer I read two days ago said that Tipsoo Lake was in prime conditions for wildflowers and he was spot on. Simply amazing to see in person..
Once I finished up at the Lake, I decided to explore the Naches Loop Trail (details in my next blog post)…
