Mazama Ridge Snowshoe

Beautiful sunny day, we decided to snowshoe up to Mazama Ridge from Paradise at Mt Rainier National Park. Our route today was 4 miles round trip with an overall elevation gain of 1,050 ft.
There were nice tracks to follow along the Paradise Valley Road

We continued snowshoeing part way up the Paradise Glacier Trail
Pano: Mt Adams and Mt St Helens peeking over the Tatoosh Range
We found a nice hill to sit on, eat our lunch and enjoy the views
