August 2012: Berkeley Park Backpack trip

Planning ahead got us a backcountry camping spot in the Mount Rainier National Park. We had heard how lovely the flowers could be in Berkeley Park, and decided to try it out for ourselves. The original plan had to include J's Mom, but back issues forced her to stay in Seattle. We definitely missed her company, and wished she could have shared the lovely flowers and fun we had.

Fresh and ready to go up the trail.
