Mt. Rainier Viewpoint.

Fresh snow on the mountain tops.Think this one is called Lava Falls.

Clear Lake.
That island has a cache on it but we didn't want to check for it with the ice cold water.These are all of Rimrock Lake.



We had planned on stopping at a National Forest Campground on Rimrock Lake but the weather forecast was predicting a low in the 30's and that's too darn cold for our AZ blood.
On we went thru more beautiful scenery and soon we were "seeing" the mountains again as this side of the Cascades is desert like with

a beautiful river running along side the road.While Bob drove Donna did some more research on the IPad and Day's End's files. We entered the Yakima Canyon
and came upwith this BLM campground along
the Yakima River.
$15 for two nights with our Golden Age sure beat the Elk's $25 for one night.We watched a white pelican land near a flock of geese.

And there were lots of magpies
and during the night we heard wolves howling. Great drive and great campsite. Did I mention we were the only ones here?

Loved that drive. Went thru there last summer on the way to Prosser and the balloon festival.
