Yesterday morning we left Spokane for a two-and-a-half hour drive to Mount Rainier National Park.  Initially we drove through a lot of desert-like terrain until we crossed the mountains at White Pass and entered central/western Washington.

Once we got to the “green” part of WA, the views were spectacular.

We stopped at a roadside turn off to see these falls.  For something that’s barely marked on the map, it was impressive.
