Yesterday was an awesome day! It started out cloudy but dry, with the forecast being that it would be clear all day. Unfortunately, the closer we got to got to Mt. Rainier, the worse the weather became, and it looked like the weather was going to ruin our plans as it was pouring down pretty hard. Once we arrived at our hiking point, the rain stopped and we were good to go. We got our snowshoes on, got into the thick of it, and marveled at the beautiful scenery. Although it was quite cloudy, it wasn't as cold as we had anticipated, and the vistas were amazing.
