This is my third and final post of my time at Mt. Rainier, and another picture heavy post. For day one, click here. For day two, click here.

Reflection Lake and Narada Falls are two of those natural beauties that can be enjoyed by simply pulling into a turnout when taking a scenic drive, and stretching your legs a bit.
On this day, the weather was wonderful, but there were clouds blocking the view of Mt. Rainier.
Nevertheless, the lake was serene and full of fall color.
This guy was the main attraction for guests.
Narada Falls is one gorgeous place!
If you take the time to hike the trail, you can watch the water fall 168 feet!
Early morning at the lodge…the sun has not penetrated the woods yet, but sunrise on the mountain is very pretty!
Hubby and I drove back to Reflection Lake. The mountain was out!
However, the sun hadn’t warmed up the lake yet. You can see frost and ice!
It is October after all. The mornings and nights are cold, and the days are shorter. But the days are filled with azure blue skies and autumn color!
Our last hike was on the Snow Lake Trail.
The sun was warming some areas of the trail.
Other areas were still frosty from a chilly night.
Once up on a ridge, we could see the mountain.
After that refreshing early morning hike, we took our last look at Mt. Rainier and headed home.
