Anvil Rock: 30 April 2019
As you can see, I am finally going through my pictures from back in the day :) I have not left my apartment in 12 days...due to Covid19. Anyways, back to this hike. Driving up to Paradise is such a treat! Beautiful forest roads, and as you get higher, you get these views of Mt Rainier in all her glory. Starting from the Paradise visitor center, the staircase is covered with snow, people are putting on snow shoes, micro-spikes, or skis. Today is one of those days where the sky is blue, with streaks of white, now the weather here changes rapidly! As we hike up, within 0.5 miles, we get an amazing view! My hiking partner and I keep going, I eventually get to Panorama Point, put my backpack down and just admire the view! I have always thought the toilet sign is a joke, as it points to the sky! lol My hiking partner is arriving..whoo hoo.. And then we meet this guy! Saying goodbye to our friend, may cause his heart to melt..lol We continued to...
