In early August 2020, I had originally planned to hike four days in a row in North Cascades. After the first two days which are in previous galleries, the weather got worse and was going to be poor for the other two days. The only place I could find with decent weather for day 3 was Mount Rainier...so I spent the day there and returned home early. I was really glad I did -- the flowers were incredible, probably the best I've ever seen along with some of the best weather conditions I've ever managed to catch as well. I've visited this park probably more than any other, and never get tired of it.
