Paradise — Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise

Made the long drive to Paradise on an early Sunday morning and as a memorial trip for a dear old friend who recently passed. He was once a Rainier climbing guide back in the day with the Whitakers and we spent some great times on and around the mountain in our 20’s and while living in Eatonville and Puyallup. 

Rainier and Paradise has changed so much over the years and as a tourist attraction, but the memories tugged at my heavy heart all day snowshoeing the terrain. RIP Coli.
