Revisiting Mount Ranier

We decided to visit Mt. Rannier National Park on Labor Day and somehow managed to get there before the holiday crowd. We were warned about the chance of low clouds and the possibility that we would not be able to see the peak, but we were close by and I hadn't been there since I was a kid. It still had the power to amaze me and Pam agreed that it was well worth the trip even with the clouds.

On the wildlife side, we did see a variety of birds, but no exotic mammals. The best part was spotting a scene on the side of the road that looked like an alien landscape. It appeared to be a dried up lake that had been logged years before.
