🏔️ Seattle | A 2-Hour Drive for the "Golden Mountain" Sunrise
📍 Location: Lake Tapps Park, 2022 198th Ave E, Bonney Lake ⏰ Best Time: 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM 🚗 Transport: Self-drive (parking available lakeside) ✨ The Journey to the Golden Moment Yes, the drive took 2 hours—but only because Seattle traffic is brutal (even a 1-hour trip becomes a crawl). Lucky for me, Lake Tapps Park, one of the best Mount Rainier viewpoints, was near my hotel. How could I miss this? At first, the mountain was hidden behind clouds But patience paid off—30 minutes later, the clouds parted just enough to reveal the "golden mountain" at sunset. A perfect finale to my U.S. trip! 🌲 Why Visit? ✔ Chill vibes: Lakeside picnics, boating, fishing ✔ Unobstructed views: Park right by the water for a front-row seat ✔ Magic hour: Sunset turns Rainier into a glowing masterpiece #MountRainier #SeattleViews #GoldenHour #PNWParadise #TravelGram
