Paradise
Today is the 94th birthday of the Paradise Inn in Mt. Rainier National Park. The original two and half story lodge was built mostly of local materials found within the park. For the opening sleighs took visitors from Longmire to Paradise, as the deep snow made the roads impassable by car. Today what I remember most about Paradise is the amazing parking lot and large lobby. Well mostly its the parking lot. I prefer Longmire over Paradise, a bit slower pace and not quite as many people.

I mostly remember the parking lot too. I learned to x country ski there just hours before being lost overnight in a snowy wind storm. The next day, that parking lot was truly paradise.
