Week 125 Jan. 20 - Paradise

Total distance: Approximately 3 miles
Elevation Gain: 200 feet
Time: 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Weather: Sunny and warm, really warm.

My parents came up to see me from Oklahoma, and the weather report was for beautiful sunny weather the whole time.  Then a fog rolled in earlier in the week and stayed in the lowlands and created an inversion zone.  So down in Tacoma the weather was gray, cloudy, and a cool 38°F, and up at 5000 feet it was sunny, clear, and a warm 55°F.  We spent Sunday afternoon walking around the Paradise area.  We got up a little bit, and we got great views of Mt. Rainier.  We didn't do much, and I wasn't sure my dad enjoyed it.  My mom did.  We stayed the night down in Longmire at the National Park Inn.  It was my favorite part of their visit.

Orchid: Sharing the sacred mountain with my mom and dad.

Onion: No onion.
