The first place my younger brother and I stopped at after arriving was Mount Rainier.  It was about a 2 hour drive, although it was certainly more than that after adding in time for construction delays and rush hour traffic.  We didn’t need to go too far from the airport to realize that Mount Rainier can be seen perfectly well on a clear, sunny day off the interstate.  It was a fun drive to get to Paradise, up on Mount Rainier, but I did wish I had my WRX to make it even more fun with the winding mountain roads with steep drop-offs.  The valleys with the streams, waterfalls, and multiple other peaks made for a very serene, calm experience as you’re away from all the hustle and bustle of the urban city.  Check out the images below!
