🌸 The wildflowers? Gorgeous.
😅 Me? Grinning like Mount Rainier personally invited me.
👉 Swipe to check out the video at the end!
📸 The wildflowers were showing off, Mount Rainier was majestic, and I was just trying not to trip while taking 1,123+++ photos.
✨ Every step felt like walking through a postcard — every breath like fresh mountain magic. Honestly, how do you even choose a favorite? I couldn’t.
👇 Thinking about chasing these views yourself? Here’s the scoop:

🤔 Ever seen a lake so reflective you start questioning which side of reality you’re on? 💧✨ That was Tipsoo Lake — glassy water perfectly mirroring 🏔️ Mount Rainier, ☁️ lazy clouds, and even the 🌸 wildflowers posing like they knew they were in the shot. 📸 I kept circling back like a confused duck, trying to get the perfect photo. 🔁 It’s a loop trail, but I kept going for one more pic — each reflection seemed to whisper, “You sure you’re done?” 💙🌲🌅

💦🤣 If waterfalls had social media, would the 💦🤣 If waterfalls had social media, would they post “You can’t catch me!” stories?
💧 Swipe to the end to catch the waterfall in all its glory! 
🌲 Checked AllTrails for parking 🥾 — half the trail was closed (rude 😤), but we made the most of it with an out-and-back to Silver Falls. And guess what? We had it completely to ourselves! 🙌
🌊 Just us, the roar of the falls, and enough mist to qualify as a rinse cycle.
🌿💆‍♀️ Nature’s spa — no towels, no snacks, no cell service 📵, but hey, free exfoliation!
🧃🍫 Would I do it again? 100%. Would I bring a hairbrush for post-mist hair? Also yes. 😅
<<<---------------------->>> 
🗺️ Trail Stats:
 📍 Silver Falls Loop 
 📌 Mount Rainier National Park, WA
 📏 2.8 miles | 📈 518 ft gain | 💪 Easy
🌟 Highlights:
 🌲 Lush forest trails = straight-up magical
 💦 Silver Falls = powerful, dramatic, possibly angry
 📸 Tried to take a cute pic = looked like I got caught in a car wash
 🧼 Waterfall mist = nature’s unsolicited exfoliation
 🐸 Trail highlight: one judgmental frog, zero snacks shared.

❓Is it possible to take too many photos of the s ❓Is it possible to take too many photos of the same mountain? (Asking for a friend... and my overflowing camera roll.)
🌊 The lakes? Absolutely stunning.
⛰️ Mount Rainier casually photobombs in the distance like,
🗣️ “Oh hey, didn’t see you there — just out here being majestic.”
🌄 There were moments I genuinely paused to soak it all in...
😅 ...and also to pretend I wasn’t hiking at the speed of a confused tortoise.
<<<---------------------->>> 
🗺️ Trail Stats
 📍 Bench and Snow Lakes Trail
 📌 Mount Rainier National Park, WA
 🥾 Distance: 2.2 miles round trip
 📈 Elevation Gain: 456 ft (but emotionally? felt like Everest)
 💪 Difficulty: Moderate (if you’re fit), Slightly Humbling (if you had pancakes for breakfast and regrets for lunch)
🌟 Trail Highlights
 🏞️ TWO beautiful alpine lakes: Bench Lake (the cute one), Snow Lake (the dramatic one)
 🌤️ Clear day = killer reflections of Mount Rainier
 🌸 Wildflowers, 🌲 towering trees, and an occasional 🐭 pika judging your hiking pace
 🧺 Ideal snack-break zones with a side of soul-soothing views
 🧗‍♂️ Bonus adventure if you try to rock-hop out to the lake’s edge like a fearless squirrel and end up with wet socks 🧦
💡 Trail Tip: Don’t skip Bench Lake—it’s a short detour off the main trail and way less crowded than Snow Lake. Plus, fewer people to witness your snack break turned photo shoot.

🚪 Walking through the Chihuly Garden and Glass 🚪 Walking through the Chihuly Garden and Glass felt like stepping into a Dr. Seuss fever dream—if everything was handcrafted from molten rainbow glass and one clumsy move could cost you your life savings.
🪼 There are towering jellyfish chandeliers, 🌪️ neon spaghetti tornadoes, and 🌱 glass flora that look like they’re plotting to take over Seattle—but politely, and with style.
📹 Swipe to check out 3 short videos:
 ✨ 2 clips of the stunning glass sculptures 
 🔥 1 mesmerizing glass-blowing demonstration in action 
😱 Did I audibly gasp at least seven times? You bet I did.
💸 I spent half the visit mesmerized… and the other half doing mental math on how much I'd owe if I accidentally knocked something over. (Estimate: my soul, my car, and possibly a kidney.)
🎨 Major kudos to Dale Chihuly, a visionary who looked at molten sand and said, “What if this could emotionally wreck people—in a good way?”
🌟 Final thoughts: 10/10.
🙅‍♀️ Would absolutely return.
👐 Would still not touch a single thing.
🏡 Would happily live there if they’d let me.
<<<---------------------->>> 
📊 Glass-tastic Fun Facts:
🔥 The Glasshouse centerpiece is 100 feet long and features 1,340 pieces of fiery red, orange, and yellow glass.
🌺 The garden outside contains 4,500+ individual glass elements, thoughtfully integrated with real plants.
🧠 Dale Chihuly lost vision in one eye and still creates some of the most breathtaking glass art in the world.
🌍 His work is displayed in over 200 museums globally.
💡 Pro Tip: Go early or late in the day to avoid crowds—and if you're in the area, get the combo ticket with the Space Needle for the ultimate Seattle spectacle.

🥾 Hiked Bridal Veil Falls in Washington and I h 🥾 Hiked Bridal Veil Falls in Washington and I have questions.
👰‍♀️ First of all, where’s the bride?
💅 Who hikes 4+ miles over rocks, roots, and betrayal just to find out the wedding’s been cancelled?
💧 I did see the veil — stunning, dramatic, and definitely damp.
But no bridal party. No cake. And worst of all... no open bar.
➡️ Swipe all the way to the end to catch the breathtaking video of the stunning waterfalls. 
🍫 The hike? Imagine a spicy combo of StairMaster, jungle gym, and “why did I think trail mix was a meal?”
🌊 The waterfall? Serving more drama than a Bachelor finale. Absolutely worth it — even if your quads disagree.
🐛 Bonus guest appearance: a bright green caterpillar, clearly dressed for a forest fashion show.
😮‍💨 Final verdict: 10/10 recommend — if you love epic views and a reminder that you’re out of shape.
<<<---------------------->>>
📊 Trail Stats:
 📍 Location: Bridal Veil Falls Trail
 📌 Gold Bar, WA
 📏 Distance: 4.3 miles round trip
 ⬆ Elevation Gain: 1,066 ft (aka glutes = activated 🍑)
✨ Trail Highlights:
 💦 Multi-tiered waterfall = certified main character
 🌲 Enchanted forest vibes
 🐿 Occasional squirrel hecklers
 📸 Photo ops so good your phone storage will revolt
💡 Trail Tip:
 Bring snacks — not just for energy, but to bribe your legs to keep moving.
🦵🍫 Forgiveness may arrive around mile 3.

📸 Went to Bridal Veil Falls Trail for some epic 📸 Went to Bridal Veil Falls Trail for some epic pics… ended up with a full-on waterfall shower instead. 💦
🎥 The best part at the end - wait to see the video of the stunning waterfalls.
🌊 Note to self: waterfalls don’t care if you’re trying to be Insta-famous—they’re coming in for the splash zone!
🌪️ Spent more time playing dodgeball with the mist than actually taking pictures.
📷 At one point, my camera looked like it took a dip, and honestly, so did I.
😂 Who knew getting the perfect angle meant auditioning for ‘Soaked and Sorry’?
💧 Pro tip: if you want natural HDR (Hydrated, Dripping, and Ready), just stand close enough to Bridal Veil Falls.
💁‍♀️ Bonus: your photos come with authentic water droplets and your hair looks like you just ran a marathon through a sprinkler.
😎 Would I do it again? Absolutely.
🦸‍♂️ But next time, I’m bringing a waterproof camera, a towel, and maybe a snorkel.
🐌 Oh, and shoutout to this chill banana slug I met on the trail — total forest superstar! 🌿
