Leslie trying to "climb" the mountain. Not really working
Welcome to Mt. Rainier National Park!
The bikers in front of us
There it is!
There it is again!
This time its a model
The first waterfall of the hike
Another shot of Rainier
Last time I was here, it was very cloudy so I took lots of pictures of the mountain this time
Top o' the waterfall
babbling brook
This looked better in person
a "bridge" we had to cross on the trail
A cool valley
Leslie taking a break
A valley with 3 bears
You can see the mom (black dot off-center left) but the 2 cubs don't show up very well
Me and the mountain
Leslie and the mountain
Leslie crossing a creek on the way up the mountain
Good shot of the beard here...
Same shot, sans me
Leslie, 4 seconds away from being hit with a snowball
Snow!
Snow pack
Apparently, there was another bear just over this ledge
More scenic pictures
And again
Posing in front of the mountain
Crazy people hiking on the glacier
One day, that will be me
Hello Leslie!
A marmot!
He's so cute!
And very fluffy
And by fluffy I mean chubby
There is another bear in here somewhere
You can see it a little better there
Bears are boring, back to the marmots!
That house was littered with marmots
Mt. Rainier in all its glory
Trying to take a picture but blocking the mountain with my huge head
Not any better
