MT. RAINIER NATIONAL PARK: Lake George, Gobblers Gnob, Emerald Ridge, Wonderland

Tahoma Creek borders the West Side Road via Nisqually Entrance, you have to hike in on the road about 4 miles to reach the Lake George Trailhead. 

These Scrub Jays are even up here at Gobblers Gnob! The cutest... I tried to behave myself :) 

Trail up to Emerald Ridge, pictures will not do it justice. Just have to go!

View of the mountain from Gobblers Gnob lookout.

Our own Lake George, somehow got a private Lake in the midst of one of Rainier's busiest summers ever!

Marmot Face. He was soooooooo cute!

Suspension bridge back to Wonderland Trail, this is where we turned the other direction and head back along the "unimproved" Tahoma Creek Trail. Was a special adventure!
