Mt. Rainier. Mt. St Helens.

Just a couple of notes:

• We tried hitting Rainier from the south on forest roads. Some were closed due to storms so we had to make our way to I-5 and get there from the north instead. Saw a lot of beauty (until we hit I-5. I-5 is not pretty).
• Stayed at a funky ski hill named Crystal Mountain Resort. Great vibes.
• We had to leave earlier than we normally would have to be able to use the road to get to Mt. Rainier without an appointment. After something like 7am you need an appointment to use the road.
• We weren't able to get all the way to Mt. St. Helens due to a bridge washout.

Such a beautiful drive.

Nifty canyon.

Big Mt. Rainier. Little car. Can't see all of Rainier because of the clouds.

Mt. St. Helens. There's a cloud moving into the crater from the eruption.
