Paradise In(n) White

The Inn at Paradise has withstood one hundred winters and is still going. Nestled on the south face of Rainier at 5,400 feet this wondrous beauty made from local stone and wood reclaimed in a fire from 1885 is a great place to start or end a day of exploring our wonderful mountain and it's commanding view of Rainier's most famous face and the magnificent Tatoosh Range make it ideal for travelers to stop on in for lunch. The road is plowed to it continuously in the winter so families can enjoy sledding the steep slope above it and cross country skiers can explore the many wonders around it while it waits patiently for the Spring thaw. (yes, that gable is on the second floor) :-) It's snowed a lot since this was taken too.
