 We spent 2 days exploring Mt. Rainier.  We thought it was going to be cold, but it was in the 80s!
 Mt. Rainier has 25 glaciers that are very deep.  It is an active volcano and can heat up the snowfall and cause devastating floods and rock fall at any time.  There are signs all around telling you where the volcano evacuation routes are and to go for higher ground if you feel the earth move.
 This was taken at Paradise Visitors Center and you can see where the magma and lava flowed.
 We walked to the base of Narada Falls and were astonished to see the rainbow at the bottom.
This is a view of Emmons Glacier, the largest one on Rainier.
