My wife and I have been on a quest over the last dozen years to visit as many of the US National Parks as we reasonably can. Our total is now 53 of the 63 existing parks. One of them came from a July, 2022 trip to Washington state, including Mt. Rainier NP. That trip was 3 weeks long, and we thought it would be nice to stay in one place for a while so we spent 6 days at the Paradise Lodge on the south side of the mountain. The longer stay also gave us some spare time to wait out bad weather.
The Paradise area has many trails and other good lookout spots for views of Mt. Rainier. I put together a plan to spread them out over the time we had. It went pretty well, although we did lose one full day to low clouds that blocked the mountain.
One of those days I went down to Reflection Lake. There were various views along the south shoreline, and this was one of the ones that I liked the best.
