After setting up our trailer at Cougar Rock Campground, we drove to Reflection Lakes. By then it was just after 2:30 PM and there were ripples across most of the lake, but a small smooth area near the western edge that worked for reflections. Also took a number of wildflower photos in this area. We then went up to Paradise, but the parking lot was totally full (it was a Sunday). However, we still got a number of wildflower photos on our way down along the one-way road on the East side of Paradise. The next morning we went back to Reflection Lakes again, but they were fogged in, so then went back up to Paradise again for photos of Mt. Rainier (14,411 ft.) itself and more wildflowers. Then back to the campground, hitch up our little trailer and head to Olympic National Park.
