This was an absolutely wonderful day. Mount Rainier park is beautiful, and there are so many amazing things to see, with outstanding photo opportunities. It is truly a stupendous place, so calm and relaxing from the big city. Hiking in the park is awesome! Our guide, Joe, was excellent. He clearly knew the park like the back of his hand, and was very attentive and humorous, keeping us laughing all day. The only suggestion I would have is for less time at the grocery store (25 minutes going up, another 25 going down) - i would much rather have had an extra 50 minutes to hike in the park!
