Mirror Lakes
2 of 2
Mirror Lakes Trail is must do if you are in the area of Indian Henry's Hunting grounds. It's a hop skip and a jump off the Wonderland Trail and I'd advise going late July to mid August as those months provide the best chances of walking through vast meadows of avalanche lilies (on the trail Charlotte) :)
I saw my first elk along the tree line to the right, my gosh they are HUGE. (the red dots mixed in are Indian Paint Brush, love the contrast) you are also accompanied by the sound of a waterfall off trail to the right as well.
Here we have the magnificent South West face of Mount Rainier and it's oddly named companion, Pyramid Peak, reflected so nicely in the still waters of this small mountain lake. (it's next door neighbor in comments)
again no polarizer and I believe it was ten after noon when I snapped this, but it's on my wall, (right above the map) so it must be good enough to share. :)
