Some favorites (mouseover thumbs for larger image):
Mt. Rainier National Park:
We did snowshoeing trails in the Paradise
region up from Narada Falls to Inspiration Point and Reflection Lake, as
well as a short loop to Nisqually Vista where we could see climbers going up
the mountain and skiers going down.
Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument.
Much of the park was closed
and still under snow, but we were able to do
some nice hiking/snowshoeing/rock scrambling from the Hummocks to Johnston
Ridge, with beautiful views of the crater.
