On the way up there, it was still dark and there were a few spots along hwy 410 with huge elk just standing by the road. Pretty scary since I've hit a deer before and knowing elk are like 3x bigger than deer. At one point, we slowed to a stop and saw a huge bull elk with like 10 points on each antler. I've never seen an elk that massive! He sat up and watched us for a few seconds and then off into the woods he went.
Further into Mt. Rainier National Park, we saw a black bear!!! I've never seen a bear in the wild before so I was pretty excited. (Thankfully I was in my car or else I would've been scared out of my mind). Aaron got some pictures and even a video!....which I will have to post at a later date.
It was surprisingly cold up there and I was very glad that I wore a hoodie, gloves, and shoes. I almost left the house in my normal summer footwear.....flip flops. I would've been very upset with myself. Anyways, the sunrise was very pretty. Not a cloud in the sky! Thankfully not many crazies go up there at 3am so there was no traffic and I was able to park my car in the middle of the road for pictures. Here's a preview of what Aaron's done! I can't believe how awesome they turned out.
