What trail is this from? Tolmie Peak? My wife and I are visiting the park this weekend.
AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iunbyfu wrote
This was actually directly off the road 😂😂 I just pulled over near the parking lot for tipsoo lake
LukeAnders0n t1_iuncg6q wrote
Oh man that is rad! Great shot!
AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iunepi6 wrote
I’m glad you think so! Tipsoo is a super fun area

I’m glad!! He really is a true inspiration
LukeAnders0n t1_iunf4el wrote
Awesome! I will add it to our list of places to check out.

My favorite area is Paradise and reflection lake

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
jen_ema t1_iunr2vo wrote
It’s going to be very bad weather FYI.
jen_ema t1_iunr4cd wrote
The road is closed now.
LukeAnders0n t1_iuo04rr wrote
Oh bummer! Staying in Ashford for an anniversary trip. Do you have any suggestions on places to check out?
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.
LukeAnders0n t1_iuo1per wrote
Gotcha I saw they had some recent snowfall. Thanks for the advice!
jen_ema t1_iuo21ui wrote
You can find the forecast for Paradise zone here. We are getting another big storm this weekend.

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

Paradise is my favorite part of the park!! It’s heaven on earth
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
Macalacka t1_iuoke4p wrote
I LOVED Mowich Lake, some of the most stunning views came on the drive up there.
AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iuol8e8 wrote
That’s also an amazing lake!! Anything on that side is stunning

Looks like a Far Cry 5 screenshot

Haha thank you very much!! I only played far cry 1 but that was still gorgeous 😂

It’s literally always like an oil painting there. Can’t wait to go back!
jamminjordan96 t1_iuppzq1 wrote
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.
AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iupqanq wrote
It’s one of the best places in earth!!
AlexBlackburnPhoto OP t1_iupqdf0 wrote
😂😂😂 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
noahspurrier t1_iupz4en wrote
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
noahspurrier t1_ius1v8x wrote
Well, half of skill is luck and getting people to notice. It’s a great shot.
