When life gives you lemons, go to Mount Rainier. We were slightly derailed on Day 7 (thanks, Canadian border patrol) but bounced back even hungrier than before, adding two more national parks to our itinerary. Within minutes of arriving in Mount Rainier National Park, we knew we had made the right call.

Light blue glaciers, evergreen forests, watercolor sunsets or rainbow wildflowers? It's hard to pick which is most photo-worthy... so we took photos of all of them. One morning, we were even lucky enough to catch Rainier without its standard cloud cap - a window that only lasted about 45 minutes!
