This week brought fresh snow to Mount Rainier, including to subalpine areas like Paradise. Some fall foliage still lingers in the meadows, and low elevation forests are brightened by a mix of yellow-orange vine maples, devil’s club, vanilla leaf, and other plants whose leaves are turning. Remember conditions on the mountain can change quickly! When planning a visit, always check weather forecasts, bring the 10 essentials (including food, water, and warm clothing), and know how to navigate if you encounter snow-covered trails at higher elevations.

For those that have already visited, what was the highlight of fall for you this season?

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd...

Shout out to the hiker staring at a tiny white dot in the distance who noticed my 400mm mft lens and asked, "Does that camera have zoom?" (Enlarge the top photo to see our perspective standing on the ridge.)
