Mount Rainier National Park | Paradise Resident
Marmots are delightful sightings and companions to visitors up at Paradise, from wee ones and teenagers to plump adults. They can be spotted solo or congregated as friends and family. They may be scurrying across a brook, munching on wildflowers, or flattened on rocks while soaking up the warm rays of the sun or just perched and gazing out at their incredible scenery. Teenagers are playful and take to boxing with each other while at other times, they’ve got a forearm slung around a pal’s shoulder while standing upright together towards the sun. When sensing danger, they call out to their community with a high-pitched whistle, and so gives us human visitors a headsup, too! This cutie was scurrying away from the trail when it turned and posed for me.
