THREE HIKING SISTERS, we love to hike together, but we don't all live in the same state. Sometimes it is only two of us, and sometimes we hike with others. This is a record of some of our hikes.

Glacier Vista
This morning we drove up to Paradise at Mt Rainier National Park and hiked up to Glacier Vista in the snow, 2.8 miles round trip with 1,035 ft gain. The views were fabulous and we saw several marmots and two mountain goats in the distance. 
We only saw a few people on our hike up, we would see many more on our way back down. Behind us is a fabulous view of the Tatoosh Peaks and behind them, Mt Adams and Mt St Helens

View of Mt Rainier from the end of Glacier Vista, we were at 6,550 ft of altitude
This is my favorite "short" hike, hiking up with Mt Rainier in sight, then hiking down with these marvelous views of the Tatoosh Peaks and beyond.
