Driving thru the park. Dogs are not allowed in the park so Dixie stayed home. Uncle Pete is Mom’s hiking partner so we got to ride in his truck!!! yayyyyy!   I love Mt Rainier National Park!

Stopping at a pretty view point to take pictures. The mountain is out there behind the clouds and mist.

There are steep slopes ahead with snow!!  Watch out everyone!  I am a tiger and was not worried but Mom made me ride in her pack.  Then later she fell down and slid in the snow ha ha!  She said good thing she has had lots of practice falling down in the snow.

Stopping for a snack… yay for snacks! Also I got to play and climb in  the trees. Tigers can climb trees ya know! Also we saw lots of streams that were very pretty and provided photo opportunities.

He is so handsome, but not as handsome as me of course.
