Last summer we visited Mt. Rainier National Park for the first time. We timed our visit to coincide with the peak flower bloom in Paradise Meadows, and we were not disappointed. The weather was spectacular, hardly a cloud in the sky, and we enjoyed hiking and driving the route around the mountain. Mt. Rainier has countless streams, creeks and rivers, all of which have cascades and falls to photograph. Our favorite was Paradise Falls, appropriately, on Paradise Creek:
