2023-10-06 Faraway Rock at Mount Rainier National Park

I was hoping for a less crowded trail to see Mount Rainier's famous autumn colors and this was a perfect choice. Just a small number of other, friendly hikers and a perfect spot to sit for hours, enjoying the scenery!

I did the High Lakes Loop trail on Thursday! Faraway was part of the loop. It was a beautiful day and the falls colors were breathtaking! I also had a deer family (3) cross the trail in front of me. What a great day! Thanks again for your video! 🥾🥾
