We hiked the Christine Falls and Comet Falls Trail in Mount Rainier. Along the way, there were constant sounds of rushing water and scenic viewpoints. The whole hike took about 3 hours.

Narada Falls, on sunny days, you can often see a rainbow forming in front of the waterfall, creating a truly magical and dreamy scene.
On the way back to Seattle, we made a stop at Post & Pour (arriving around 3:30 p.m.) and stayed for about an hour. It was a really chill break before heading back into the city.
