Matt, Patti, Katie and I hiked up from Chinook pass to Sheep Lake. The fishies were jumping wild here. (No sheep, though.)

Matt and I hiked further up to the ridge above Sheep Lake. This is the valley on the other side.
Matt and I hiked a little farther. This view of the NE side of Rainier is from above Crystal Lake.

On the last day, Mom, Dad, Katie and I drove up to Paradise to see the wildflower fields below the Nisqually Glacier.

Wildflowers near Nisqually at Paradise.
More wildflowers!
