It was such a beautiful day and we were excited to see more, so we followed his suggestion. Love love love!Īnother hiker we met on the trail suggested that instead of heading back the way we came, we should continue around Reflection Lake and take another trail that led up to an overlook over Louise Lake, then continue on the trail through some meadows and loop back down to our car at Narada Falls. #REFLECTION LAKE MT RAINIER FULL#This is one of my favorite shots, when the water calmed down enough to get a full reflection.
