Place: Visited Mount Rainier and Olympic National parks....

We visited Mount Rainier and Olympic National parks in late August..
The trip lasted more than a week.......we returned with enriching memories...
I have taken countless pictures of the wonderful places...it will take a number of posts to do justice to them..
Here are some....

I am on a meadow by the famous Tipsoo lake....Mount Rainier in the backdrop...It was the face of the mountain towards the Sunrise side........

Reflection lake........

Here, you can see glacier-carved terrains....there was a deep gorge.....from this place, you can see both Mount Rainier and Mount Adams.......
