Mount Rainer from Chinook Pass

77°f and wonderfully sunny was what met us today as we crested Chinook Pass and although surrounded by glaciers you wouldn't know it by the temperature. Joan (Mrs. RedTigre) and I decided to take a holiday Sunday and do the Rainer loop since we hadn't get there yet this year. Over Blewett Pass, down the Yakima River Canyon, up the 410 West (Chinook Pass) to the 123 cutoff that take you into the Rainer National Park and connects you to Hwy 12 East (White Pass) and back through the Yakima canyon and home over Blewett Pass (97).

I guess that is really 4 passes in one day in 375 miles... I love living here.
