Let's visit the lush forests and rivers along the Wonderland Trail in Mount Rainier National Park. Starting from near the Cougar Rock campground, we will cross the Nisqually River and proceed past Carter, Madcap, Narada, and Ruby falls, pausing for pictures and to appreciate the scenery. We will continue past there to Faraway rock and some viewpoints above the lakes near Paradise.
