Arcade Fire at The Gorge - such an amazing concert venue

[bethanykcurd]

In and around Seattle - we spent the day perusing Pike Place Market, stepping in gum by the Gum wall, uncovering the home of Starbucks, and visiting where Kurt Cobain's spent his final days.  I think I fell in love with the emerald city!

The view out from Mount Rainier

[bethanykcurd]

Mount Rainier - one of the most beautiful hikes... highlights include seeing the blue glaciers in between the wafting clouds and sliding down the snow covered slopes.

Liberty Bell peak on Washington Pass

Winthrop (WA) -> Diablo (WA) - 67 miles

Our last, and most beautiful, pass of Washington - Washington Pass (and Rainy Pass)!  At the top we hiked up to Blue Lake and had beautiful views of the surrounding Liberty Bell peak and snow covered mountains.  We also found a mountain goat.  Probably my favorite day of the trip!
