Darkness of Light
Volcanic Showing
We lucked out again with the showing of Mt. Rainier on this early morning. We came out here the previous evening for sunset only to be shutout with a thick layer of cloud. We went back to the Paradise Lodge to sleep for the night and upon waking up, the clouds were as thick as it was the night before. Paradise would basically be centered on this picture sitting in the middle of the cloud layer. In fact we almost slept in this morning but decided to give it a try again. Luckily, after driving to the trailhead and hiking halfway up the trail, we emerged from the fog with a clear view of the mountain top. After hiking a little further up the trail, we settled here to enjoy the sunrise.
