Mount Rainier 2008

We've just returned from a couple days on beautiful Mount Rainier. Here's a mini photo travelogue. The pictures are big, but as such you could use them for wallpaper

I've often dropped by the Paradise Inn for dinner, but I've never gotten a chance to stay there.

I've never been able to get a cell signal on the mountain. Do the Inn have internet access of any kind? It sounds horribly touristy to ask and somehow insensitive of the natural beauty of Rainier, but for business reasons I can't really go an entire day without net access, even on vacation.

Also, how far in advance did you make your reservations?

The Inn doesn't even have room phones, just a bank of phones near the lobby, and I didn't see any evidence of internet. I sort of doubt there's any easy way to get that on the mountain, as a guest. Presumably the hotels do have it somehow, but possibly not. I phoned in the reservation; don't think there was an online option.

And we only made the reservation a week before going, but probably it only worked because school had started by then, and we chose weeknights rather than weekends. I imagine it fills up faster in July and August.

I thought of the website, but didn't want to load a bunch of 1 to 2 MB photos onto you, with possibly hundreds of hits each. :) Besides, on Webshots it contributes more to people's wallpaper needs, which I'm happy to do...

Beautiful shots!
Also, if you wait for the pop-up snap shot thing and click on the link through there that also works.

Thanks! Ah good, glad it worked one way or another for you.

Thanks! The scenery did all the work, really. :)

Hrmph, well, if copying and pasting links doesn't work, just go straight to the album page on Webshots:
