USA Spray Park
This is perhaps the best wildflower hike in Washington State with amazing backdrop views of Mount Rainier and plenty of tarns for reflections. Pick a good day in the spring with good weather. Arrive early for the best light and less people as this is a popular hike. You might get lucky and even see bear.
Photography Tips
Arrive early, bring a polarizing filter and plan to spend some time. It is an incredibly beautiful hike.
