Mount Rainier National Park
There are some places that are just too beautiful to be believed. Mount Rainier National Park in Washington is one of those places. With tranquil lakes and deep forests, meadows carpeted with wildflowers and wildlife scurrying across the trails, and an iconic glacier-capped mountain looming over it all, the park often seems like a movie set, created for maximum effect. But it’s real, and you can and should visit it. Like now. Photo by National Park Service. Original public domain image from Flickr
