Mt. Ranier National Park
Picture 1: The majestic Mt. Ranier.
Picture 2: What can happen along the road. This is normally a narrow 2-lane road.
Pictures 3-4: In contrast to the amazing blue color of Crater Lake that we sent last time, the emerald green of the Ohanapecosh River is due to a combination of its pure water sources – winter snow melt – and the vegetation and organisms in the river. The Nisqually River, which is fed by the Nisqually Glacier, is milky white in color, as are all the active-glacier-fed rivers.
