Beautiful day to snowshoe up at Mt Rainier. This is one of my favorite snowshoe trips: Paradise to Mazama Ridge to up along the Paradise Glacier Trail. About 5 miles and 900 ft of elevation gain.
We were glad to see a trail had been broken from Paradise up to Mazama Ridge.
There was lots of fresh powdery snow.
Beautiful views of the mountain from the side of Mazama Ridge.
Views of the Tatoosh Range from Mazama Ridge.
Mount Rainier from Mazama Ridge
Beautiful snow covered trees
There were no tracks in the snow above Mazama Ridge since the last snowfall. So nice to have friends to help break trail!
Mt St Helens peaking over the Tatoosh Range to the southwest
The Goat Rocks and Mt Adams to the southeast

Lovely Winter Wonderland today!
lots of icicles on some trees
On our way back down, we enjoyed the many views of Rainier
Lots of fun descending Mazama Ridge in the soft snow
