Another Year in Seattle | A Date with Rainier in All Seasons

| A Date with Rainier in All Seasons. 🥰 My love for Seattle mostly comes from Rainier! I can't even count how many times I've been there. I used to go there in the summer and take my family and friends there, just treating it as a tourist attraction. 😜 Later, I saw her in autumn and winter, and saw her from different angles while wandering or hiking in various parks. Gradually, Rainier became a kind of spiritual sustenance, and I wanted to go there every once in a while. I also love to choose the side of the plane where I can see the snow-capped mountains. 😎 🌄 My favorite place to go in summer is Skyline, where I can walk back and forth, watching the wildflowers on the mountain go from blooming to red autumn leaves to being completely covered in ice and snow. Myrtle Falls goes from the summer flood season to the autumn meltwater season, and then to the winter frozen waterfall. Not only do the seasons change, but the types of wildflowers on the mountain have also changed over the years. The lupines bloom earlier and earlier, but there are fewer and fewer of them. There was a lot of rain this year, so I hope to see the lupines all over the mountain again next year! 💐 😜 It's not just hiking, I've also seen many small animals here, such as marmots, chipmunks, mountain goats, bears, as well as fish in the streams and tadpoles in the ponds! I've also watched meteor showers and the Milky Way here, swam, and played in the snow. I'm really looking forward to walking the Wonderland Trail and going around the mountain in the future, and I'm also looking forward to seeing the snowmelt next spring! 🤩 🎈 Favorite trails: 🏔️ Skyline, that's the real paradise! 🏔️ Tipsoo Lake 🏔️ Emmons Moraine Trail 🏔️ Summit Lake Trail 🎈 Parks with views of the snow-capped mountains: 🍃 Seward Park, cherry blossoms and snow-capped mountains 🍃 Kerry Park, Space Needle and snow-capped mountains 🍃 Van Lierop Park, lupines and snow-capped mountains
