Some new images. I was fortunate enough to get to spend 8 days solo backpacking in Mt Rainier National Park this past summer. I had never been there, so I spent much of my time scouting and hiking. It rained pretty much the entire time I was there. I saw Rainier the first day I was there and the last day and a half. That being said, it was still an awesome trip. I was able to get a ton of backcountry hiking in. The mountain itself is absolutely staggering. I&#8217;ve been around big mountains, but wasn&#8217;t really prepared for how jaw dropping it would be. This was also my first trip during wildflower season. It was crazy how many wildflowers there were, they were everywhere! I saw a huge brown bear near Pyramid Peak. Scared the poor guy pretty bad though, he saw me as I reached for my GoPro and went tearing across the meadow before I could get him on camera.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"\" title=\"Sanctuary\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/photo\/sanctuary\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" style=\"max-width: 700px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/images\/large\/Sanctuary-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Mt Rainier National Park,Wonderland Trail,fog,forest,trees\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"\" title=\"Fell Into A Dream\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/photo\/fellintoadream\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" style=\"max-width: 700px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/images\/large\/FellIntoADream-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Backcountry,Camping,Mt Rainier National Park\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"\" title=\"Wonderland\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/photo\/wonderland\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" style=\"max-width: 700px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/images\/large\/Wonderland-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Mazama Ridge,Mt Rainier National Park,Wildflowers,rainier, lupine\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"\" title=\"Tears Of The Sun\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/photo\/tearsofthesun\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" style=\"max-width: 700px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/images\/large\/TearsOfTheSun-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Beargrass,Mt Rainier National Park, rainier\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"\" title=\"Silhouettes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/photo\/silhouettes\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" style=\"max-width: 700px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/images\/large\/Silhouettes-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Wonderland Trail, Backcountry, Rainier National Park, WA, meadows, wildflowers, fog\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"\" title=\"Moment We Come Alive\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/photo\/momentwecomealive\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" style=\"max-width: 700px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/images\/large\/MomentWeComeAlive-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Mazama Ridge,Mt Rainier National Park,Wildflowers,rainier,sunrise, lupine\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"\" title=\"Wonderland Meadow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/photo\/stockwonderlandpano\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" style=\"max-width: 700px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/images\/large\/Stock-Wonderland-Meadow-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Mt Rainier, Rainier National Park, Washington, Backcountry, Wonderland Trail, Morning, Pano\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"\" title=\"It's Sunny Somewhere\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/photo\/stocksunnysomewhere\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" style=\"max-width: 700px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.luketingley.com\/images\/large\/Stock-ItsSunnySomewhere-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Mt Raininer, Rainier National Park, Washington, Camping, Tent, Backcountry, Wonderland Trail, Beargrass, Wildflowers\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More new images are on there way once I get through them.
