Camping on Mt. Rainier

Last weekend (19th and 20th) I took a trip up to Mt. Rainier to go camping and do a few hikes.

We stayed out at the Ranger Creek Airstrip which as it turns out is a free campsite. Just as I finished setting up the tent the thunder and lightning came... We decided to get out of the campsite and see if we could find better weather near the White River area. We hiked up to the Emmons Vista and by the time we came back to the campsite it had stopped raining, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

The next day we drove around to the other side of the mountain to hike near the Carbon River area.
