Mount Rainier

Washington state is home to the one and only Mt. Rainer. This ginormous stratovolcano has always sought out my interest due to its wide variety of fire lookouts. The opportunity to watch the sunrise above the clouds sounds like a dream. It offers some extreme hikes and climbing, however there are still plenty of beautiful locations that don’t require as much ability. Fields of dreamy wildflowers leading to the most beautiful turquoise colored lakes. It can be an even bigger playground for my lovers of the snow. Snowshoeing is a HUGE activity at Mt.Rainier in the winter time. They get loads of powdery snow they can only be described as a winter wonderland. However you can’t forget to end your day with the stars. It is one of the most crystal clear spots to stargaze… trust me you won’t regret it!
