The cool, mountain air. The quaint, alpine meadows. The steep, rugged terrain.
Ahhhh......nothing beats it. Almost every summer my family and I travel to Mt. Rainier National Park. It's a remarkable place, full of many natural wonders. From the dense, thick, old growth forests, to the high, windswept mountain slopes. It's all an outdoorsmen could ask for.
This tradition started back before I was even brought into this world. 22 years ago my parents moved from Los Angeles, California to Puyallup, Washington. Looking to explore their new state, they stumbled upon the wonderland known as Mount Rainier. 8 years later, when I was born, I also started to develop my love for the mountain.
Hiking is my favorite activity
