Mount Rainier National Park

Mount Rainier National Park is located in the Cascade Range and has a long history. The park's main peak, Mount Rainier, has an elevation of approx. 4,400 m and is an active, snow-capped volcano surrounded by glaciers, attracting many climbers every year who attempt to reach the summit. From the towering, ancient coniferous forests in the low-altitude valleys to the open subalpine meadows halfway up the mountain, and the waterfalls in the canyons, the landscape is distinct and layered, with wildlife such as black bears, deer, and marmots often seen roaming the area. Paradise on the south slope is the park's signature area: in summer, wildflowers bloom across the mountainside, usually reaching their peak from late July to early August, and the classic Skyline Trail starts here. In winter, it transforms into a snow-covered wonderland, having recorded over 28 m of snowfall in a single year; playing in the snow and snowshoeing are classic activities here year-round. Built in the early 20th century, Paradise Inn is known for its log beams and large cobblestone fireplace, and you can see the snow-capped mountain and meadows from the window. On the drive to Paradise, you will also pass Narada Falls, which is worth parking to see. Sunrise on the northeast side presents a different kind of expansive scenery: it is the highest point in the park accessible by road, offering a close-up view of the massive Emmons Glacier, and on clear days, you can see neighboring peaks such as Mount Baker and Glacier Peak.United States · Pierce County

It was early October when I went there. The weather was dry and rainless. There was no snow on the mountain and no tourists. If I have the chance to go there again, it should be suitable for skiing. The natural scenery is amazing, with a kind of primitive beauty.

The sky is so blue, the water is so clear, the scenery of Yannian Grass Lake is so beautiful. When there is no wind, it is as quiet as a painting. The mountains in the distance and the lake nearby, the scenery of the lake and the mountains is particularly impressive.

You can walk to the Seattle 520 Bridge from Bellevue, as shown in Figure 1. There is also a beautiful park and parking lot here. If you like to walk across the bridge, you can reach Seattle. If you like to take the bus, you can also do so. The bus station is just below the parking lot. There are many buses and the waiting time is not long. It is very convenient.
