Скачать или смотреть Mount Rainier from Van Trump Park - Mountain Majesty

This shot was taken just after the maintained trail spur ends that leads into Van Trump Park. THe bot patch continues up through the snow to ascend the ridge to our right. But, that off-trail wandering will have to wait til another day, when the snow si gone and the flowers are out. If you do go past any sing that says "END OF MAINTAINED TRAIL", please stick to the paths others have created whenever possible.

Of course, we see hardly anyone on the trail above Comet Falls the whole day, but as soon as we get to our stopping spot, and group from what sounded like Australia with some young boys show up and stop right with us. So this Long Exposure will not be in nature's silence.
