Day 11 and 12 Elevation Vacation……🦃❤️🥾🏔️
I am more tired today, than any day hiking up high.
Yesterday was move to another time zone and laundry day. I had a few extra hours so I drove a long road to the Blue Lakes Trailhead to see Mount Sneffels from the back side. I flew from Grand Junction to Denver to Seattle, my wife from Richmond to Denver to Seattle. Lights out at 1:30AM PDT.
Today was a quick visit to the Space Needle then drive to Ashford, WA, just outside of Mount Rainer NP.
Time for dinner🙂
Mount Rainer exploration tomorrow!

Did you take the elevator to the top of the Space Needle?

One $17 beer is worth it for the experience.**
