Drove up to Paradise on Mount Rainier to see the wildflowers and do a very short hike to Myrtle Falls with my 86 year old mother. From the parking lot near the Paradise Inn, the trail is 0.3 miles to Myrtle Falls. We parked in the lower parking lot, making it about 1+ mile round trip. By parking in the lower lot, we wandered through more trails in the Paradise area where we would see 6 deer and lots of wild flowers.
The colors were beautiful.
Mount Rainier stayed hidden in the clouds, but that didn't detract from the beauty of the fields.
There were flowers blooming along Edith Creek
Love the colors.

After lunch at Paradise Inn, we walked along another trail back to the parking lot, enjoying more flowers.
On the drive out, we stopped and took the short 0.2 mile trail down to see Narada Falls. Love the rainbow in the falls.
A little further down the road we stopped at Christine Falls. Upper Christine Falls as see from the roadside.
