07/26/24 - Myrtle Falls - Scenery

On our second day at Mount Rainier, we took a slightly different walk from Paradise and headed to Myrtle Falls. It was different scenery, but full of running water, alpine flowers and rich foliage. There were marmots. We went past the falls and on to the first patch of snow. We were tired, so we used this as our excuse for turning around.
