It was a beautiful sunny day and though we’ve yet to reach a 70 degree day, it was still perfect for a spring hike. If you take your snow shoes. The famous fields of flowers at Paradise had avalanche debris instead of avalanche lilies, but any day you can lay in the sun is a great day.
I made my way down from the visitor center to Narada Falls. It would be a great family trip if you had two cars. If you left Seattle at 9:00 you could be at Paradise by 11:30, have a nice lunch, take a couple of hours snow showing down to Narada Falls, head up to Paradise to pick up the second car, have some hot chocolate at the visitor center and then stop for wild mountain blackberry pie on the way out of the park.
A gentle walk through the trees and snow covered meadows. Okay, there are some steep sections, but at no point do you need ice axes or ropes.
and once you’re at the bottom a second car to take you back to Paradise. I had to walk back up the hill to get to my car, but it is not really that bad. For those wishing a more exact definition figure one rest stop every hour at which you consume two oreo cookies. This was a two oreo trip.
And the views are great
ps. I did bring home a black berry pie from the Copper Creek Inn.
