| Spectacular View of Mt. Rainier from Sunrise Point |
A handful of miles from my home, Sunrise Point is near Chinook Pass and is part of Mt. Rainier National Park. There is a small fee ($14) to enter the park, but it lasts for a week and is totally worth it on a beautiful day like this one. If you go in late summer, wild lupine (below) is everywhere, and you can probably find some indian paintbrush as well as buckwheat and heather. For more information on flowers you can find in the park, visit

If you ever want to get away for a day, this is a perfect place for sightseeing, short hikes (or long ones), a wine-and-cheese date, or a weekend away at the lodge. A beautiful location, but plan according to season, because winter strikes early and leaves late here.
