We headed back to Rainier with the kids. Weather wasn’t perfect but the Mountain was out at least part of the time. We hiked to waterfalls and checked out the visitors’ center and a hot spring (really just a seepy warm spot nowadays) then checked out the big trees in the Grove of the Patriarchs. We headed out for a moonlit picture of the mountain and saw lots of deer along the way. Fortunately the deer were pretty intent on eating the new growth just peeking out of the snow so they didn’t wander out into traffic.
