Monday, September 14
The rain stopped before bedtime on the night before, and after a night of hearing water endlessly drip, drip, dripping off the trees, I awoke to a somewhat dry morning. I wore my puffer jacket instead of my rain jacket for Molly's morning walk.
It was supposed to get up to 60 and be partly cloudy for the day, but I doubt if it ever got over 45. While we were driving back from Mount Rainier that's what it was.
We never saw much sun and even less mountain. High clouds, low clouds and fog obscured everything in the sky. There may have been a mountain out there, but we never saw it.
But a few really nice waterfalls and a lot of gorgeous rugged scenery kept us happy.
Trees were beginning to turn. Yum.
There should have been a mountain reflected in this picture? Maybe.
The crowds were wild--and it was the off season! I can't imagine what it would be like in July. Warmer, at least. However, as usual the people concentrated in a few key places, like the visitor center and one of the viewpoints. Lots of the lesser places were relatively empty and after Paradise the road cleared out a lot.
We will try again tomorrow
Back at the campground,
