On the road again to see more of beautiful Washington. While Dan stopped to fill up the RV and the truck ($2.78/ gal), I went across the street to a roadside fruit market. I bought tomatoes and peaches – delicious! Drove to Mount Rainier National Park and found a campsite in Ohanapecosh Campground. This is a lush area with many HUGE trees and foliage.
After setting up camp, we drove to the Paradise Visitor center, which is located on the southern side of Mount Rainier. All you DRIVERS would love the road up to the center. On the way we stopped at Box Canyon for a short hike and view of the deep, narrow gorge that had been eroded into the granite by the stream. Mount Rainier is awesome. Watching the clouds hover and move across it was a special treat. We were glad that we had the binoculars to watch some brave hikers as they made their way across a snow field, elevation about 10,000 feet, to Camp Muir, which is a stopping point for those who are climbing to the summit.
