Niece Day 9

Today we took Bryndee to the top (well as high as you can go in a vehicle) of Mount Rainier.

After some road work delays we finally made it to our first stop.

Christine Falls, is 69 feet tall and has 2 drops. The longest drop is 37 feet. The falls are part of the Nisqually River and are glacier fed.

After more road delays we make it to our next stop, just before getting to Paradise.

2 black tailed deer were spotted outside the visitor’s center before we left.

After seeing the sites we headed back down the mountain for ice cream and Chinese food (and yes! in that order!).
