MOUNT RAINIER

Vivek, Shivani and Neev were with us, in Seattle, for 4th of July weekend. On 2 Jul we all piled in two cars and drove to Mount Rainier. The drive of about 130 miles was one of the best scenic drive that I ever had. We stopped at couple of places to enjoy the nature at its best.
Rainier is basically a pulsating active volcano which can erupt any time, without much warning. It last erupted in 1840. The devastation it will cause is unimagineable. However, for now, the beauty of the sleeping giant takes one's breath away. Dense green forest around it enhances the beauty of its white capped peak.
We spent the whole day admiring the view from various vantage points. Here are the pictures for you all to enjoy.
