Washington’s Most Breathtaking Wildflower Hike 🌸🏔️

Paradise Glacier Trail 📍 Paradise Glacier Trail, Mt. Rainier 7 miles | 2,000 ft elevation gain This hidden-gem route starts at Reflection Lake, climbs through alpine meadows exploding with wildflowers, and rewards you with 360° volcano views (Rainier + Adams + St. Helens!). ✨ Why It’s Magic: ▪️ Solitude: After the busy Skyline Trail, you’ll see maybe 4 people all day. ▪️ Surreal scenery: Waterfalls + snowfields + a black bear sighting 🐻 (keep your distance!). ▪️ Peak blooms: July-August = carpets of lupines + paintbrush. ⚠️ Heads Up: ▪️ No bathrooms at Reflection Lake lot. ▪️ Arrive by 8AM on summer weekends—parking fills fast! #WildflowerHike #RainierViews #PNWAdventure
