How recent is that? I'm down in the Portland area and would love a good road trip. Last couple attempts have been disappointing due to forest fire smoke.

AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iunnwtg wrote

Not super recent but it looks like all of the wildfire smoke has cleared out of the area. I would just start to worry about snow piles and which roads they are closing down

It’s literally always like an oil painting there. Can’t wait to go back!

Funny story, I lost my keys and had to sleep by this very lake. I then found the keys by my vehicle in the morning, In the parking lot, right by my car.

😂😂😂 at least you got a pretty sleep!! I’ve slept in that parking lot too. But that was after a full night of Astro photography so I was exhausted

Painting or photo?

AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iur6wei wrote

Photo! I’m definitely not this good of a painter 😂😂 not a skill I have in any way shape or form

Well, half of skill is luck and getting people to notice. It’s a great shot.

What trail is this from? Tolmie Peak? My wife and I are visiting the park this weekend.

I’m glad you think so! Tipsoo is a super fun area

Awesome! I will add it to our list of places to check out.

Oh bummer! Staying in Ashford for an anniversary trip. Do you have any suggestions on places to check out?

1

jen_ema t1_iuo0n8o wrote

You can definitely go up to Rainier still (Paradise area).. just bring snowshoes and warm layers! Tipsoo is just over on the east side and they close the road seasonally. It was an early closure this year.

I LOVED Mowich Lake, some of the most stunning views came on the drive up there.

My favorite mountain on the planet. Paradise is unlike any place I’ve ever seen. Amazing picture.

AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iuoe2qu wrote

Paradise is my favorite part of the park!! It’s heaven on earth

2

Pathogen541 t1_iuof3he wrote

It truly is. Few places I’ve ever been have actually taken my breath away. Paradise did. Especially going back up when the sun was setting and the park was clearing out…. It was like being in another world. Amazing picture! Are those the goat rocks in the foreground?

AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iuoh1tx wrote

You said it perfectly. There’s nothing better than an empty Mt Rainer. This is Tipsoo lake looking towards so I believe so
