Along the Nachos Peak Loop Trail in Mt. Rainer National Park. I found no chips and salsa but it was a very tasty hike. (Full disclosure: it’s actually called Naches Peak Loop, Trail but for a day it was a bowl of chips I was thinking of). #nachespeakloop #mtrainernationalpark #publiclands #keeppubliclandsinpublichands #clayhausphotography (at Naches Peak Loop Mt Rainer) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUdXAJuB2ig/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hidden in a corner of Mt. Rainier National Park is the Grove of the Patriarchs, a stand of old-growth forest on an island in the Ohanapecosh River. The fir, cedar and hemlock trees in the grove grow up to 300 feet tall and hundreds of years old. Unfortunately I didn't get very good pictures of the trees. It was very overcast on that side of the park and I'm still having a hard time adjusting my camera to take good pictures in that light. The Ohanapecosh is probably the most beautiful river I've ever seen. Flowing down from an inactive glacier, it's a gorgeous jade green color and amazingly clear; you can easily see the bottom even when the water is several feet deep. I could have just sat and gazed at the water for ages. #mtrainernationalpark #groveofthepatriarchs #ohanapecosh #ohanapecoshriver (at Grove Of The Patriarchs, Mt. Rainier National Park)

Pissing at the top of the world! The Aunts didn’t noticed:) #10YearOlds #boys #nephews #mtrainer #mtrainernationalpark (at Mount Rainier National Park)

This is how Maddy spent most of her waking hours on the camping trip. She finds the nearest tree and wraps herself around it. #dogproblems #doglogic #mtrainier #mtrainernationalpark #camping #dogcamping
