Visiting Sunrise at Mt Rainier in August has become somewhat of a circus--by time Bill & I got there at noon, the parking lot was full with cars triple-parking everywhere. We managed to park at a pull-out a half-mile from the visitor center... Even though my creative juices for taking pictures was gone, I managed to click off a few shots along the Burroughs Trail. Coming back we avoided the crowds through the Shadow Lake trail, and was treated to a microcosm of wildflowers still in bloom.
