Tree Hugger - a photo on Flickriver

Tree Hugger

            Three days before the wedding I proclaim, demand, ok plead to have a chore free day so I could take a hike.  Rachel says take me, but it has to be an easy one.  OK.  Sheep lake 3.5 mile out and back....  We arrive and the pristine and glorious green pool surrounded by mountains and a forest of fir and I say ok, we can go back OR we could climb over that ridge and I'll show you something really spectacular.... It's so tall she has to bend her head back, gives a wry smile as she knew Dad just set her up, but we went.  Took the PCT into Sourdough gap and turned left into Mount Rainier National Park (small sign, no ticket booth)  :)  
The view from here is upper Chrystal Lake, the peak of the same name across the way and you guessed it, Mount Rainier.   I hadn't taken the camera out of the bag, I'd been here and on a better day until this.  I didn't climb the out of place rocky hill because a couple was enjoying lunch up there, so here's the one and only shot.  :) she got blisters on her feet but said the view was worth it.  :)  
I'll put a couple pics in comments in case you are wondering what the heck I'm talking about.  The second one includes the ridge we went over.
