Seattle Spirit!!

Seattle spirit! In Seattle, they just call it "the mountain". I'll refer to it by its usual name: Mount Rainier. We saw it from the plane just before landing, towering 4400m above the city and dwarfing Mount Baker, on the other side of the plane. Hugh was so kind to take us to his favorite scenic hike at Burroughs mountain for our first day in the NorthWest.

The following serie of photos is from this hike, in Mount Baker National Park. That was the first highlight of our trip.

Thanks again to Hugh and Ina for treating us like kings at their house, to Hugh for his kindness assisting us in finessing our planning, he was a great advisor and knows the region incredibly well. Thanks also to Ina for the visit on saturday, and to her little monster daughter for "entertaining us" :-) We had a fantastic stay!!
