We did the Cascade Loop Ride out this way in 2013

Here's pictures of our 2010 ride to Paradise.

We were out to Sunrise in 2013 and twice in 2011.
The first trip report is HERE and the second is HERE.





When we got out here yesterday afternoon the area was pretty much socked in.
But Eloise arranged for today to be a gorgeous bluebird day. Thanks Ell!

Here's more pictures of the Paradise, Washington segment.



Stopped for lunch in Morton.

Here's more pictures of the Morton, Washington segment.



Got a late start Saturday so stayed over in Packwood, just a few miles from
Mount Rainier National Park.

Here's more pictures of the Packwood, Washington segment.



Headed out early for Sunrise a little after sunrise. Good thing we got there
early... the line at the payment booth was a mile long by the time we left.

Here's more pictures of the Sunrise, Washington segment.

Here's still more pictures of the Sunrise, Washington segment.



Great views at numerous turnouts in the Mount Rainier National Park. And lots of
colorful weeds.

Here's more pictures of Mount Rainier National Park taken along the way.



Stopped in Longmire.



When I was here 25 years ago Longmire wasn't nearly the dickweed magnet that it is
today. This old gas station was actually in operation (just as I suspect the one at
sunrise was). You could get a room at the Inn without a reservation... and no two
night stay requirement like there is now. And of course there were a LOT less people
here. The line at the payment booth was well over a mile long when we left the park!
That's a lot of Obama-loving shitbags from Seattle!
