Re: Coyote Wall and other bike trails
Here's the map that's in the USFS link: Coyote Wall Trail.jpg I'd thought they were going to upgrade something that was already there, but this is almost 100% new trail alignment. (I imagine non-wheeled visitors will continue to use the existing path that more or less parallels the cliff — unless th...

Re: Mt Rainier Timed Entry Permits
A few key points to take note of; quotes are from their FAQ : "If you enter the park by vehicle before 7 am or after 3 pm, you do not need a reservation."

Re: Small purple flowers
How can we be so much further north and yet have spring happening so much earlier!? Evolution and climate are fascinating. The Pacific Ocean. The USDA "zones," which tell you which plants your area supports and when to put them in the ground, are based entirely on minimum temperature, not average o...
