The silent Rainier,
The turbulent falls,
Their drops participating in forming multiple vibrant rainbows,
some too tiny and a big one covering the entire rocks.
Sunny everywhere
but clouds in front of The mighty Rainier.
Oh if we had seen it from the other side that day,
chosen a different hike along a different way,
we might have got a chance to capture a full sight of this huge white.
Clouds and rains but no sun at the “Sunrise point”
anyway we shouldn’t have expected as our timing was not right!
On the other hand, had we taken a different trail start,
we could have missed the pretty greenery on the snow which has all my heart.
You see, sometimes the sun takes over, sometimes the clouds, darkness and peace at other times,
but that’s how we - the humans understand the true value and role of different things on the similar lines!
Thus the science, nature and life choose to teach us,
Hold on, take a deep breath and thank The Universe!
It's a ~3 hour drive from Seattle and below are the points we visited:
Christine Falls
Narada Falls
Paradise Skyline Trail
Ruby falls
Reflection lakes
Sunrise Point
There are many other attractions like Fremont lookout trail, Naches Peak loop, Myrtle falls, Tolmie Peak and other places that you will find in google and AllTrails app but you need atleast 3-4 days to explore and cover all the top rated viewpoints.
Here's a glimpse of our day the feelings of which I tried to describe briefly above.
