Randy, I want you to know that watching these videos of your trips with all your kids really gives me some big feelings. Watching your kids grow up reminds me of how fast my own kids are growing. Life happens fast and I don’t want to miss a minute of it. You’ve been an inspiration for me to cherish every moment while it lasts. Thank you.

The best part of video for me was watching the two you sliding in snow, turning the Park into a playground full of happiness and laughter. Oh yes, the thrill of being a child again filled with the sound of playground noise. Sliding down a snow hill is a tip-top nature time delight. With a sun that is bright is sure to bring a you smile and laughter of a golden light. I love to see the happiness that glows from you, family and friends that shows thankfulness for the gift of life.

Randy, W O W ! Now, you see why I have been hoping you would get a good day at “our park” and YOU DID! I can’t tell you how many times I have hiked the Skyline Trail, first time I was about Shane’s age or younger (in 1960s), last time about 10 years ago. It has always been my favorite hike, and Reflection Lake, as my favorite stop. Actually you can hike from Paradise to Reflection Lake which is a neat and easy hike. Your editorial comment about MOUNT RAINIER as the BEST NATIONAL PARK moved me, as I wrote those same words in a theme paper in the 10th grade about the amazing alpine meadows and mountain hike. As soon as the snow melts (usually end of July early August) the wildflowers at Paradise are better than anywhere SO HAPPY YOU AND SHANE ENJOYED THE SKYLINE, . . . Mike

In August and September you don’t have the snowfields, and there are plenty of signs to help. There are dozens of different wildflowers in August, very dense blooms that is why Muir was impressed. September is amazing on that hike with red leaves on the huckleberries and bears everywhere. Bring the daughters next time! . . . Mike

Out and back. If in Washington and want more Go up Teanaway River to Esmeralda Basin do the Longs Pass. Or PCT at Snoqualmie Pass. Rainier is king. Makes Whitney look like a joke. Shasta too. It is a beast.

I'd call the park service... each year can be different, but it often takes some time into the summer for the snow to thaw. Ask also about the best time to see the wildflowers.

For the love of God how did nobody notice the animal coming out of the bushes at 2:56. I took a deep dive trying to figure out what the heck that was....and I'm lost. I hope others see this comment and solve this case for my OCD's case.

That's funny... didn't even notice the animal in the editing phases either! My best guess is a Marmot.

When did you visit? I just did this trail this past sunday and there were just a few patches of snow on the trail. Consequently, your hike seems to have been much more challenging than mine.

We were there July 20. Sounds like you had a great hike. I've heard the wildflowers are really out around this time.

@@AmericasParks Loved the hike. It was not as hard as I expected. My 4 year old was able to do most of it save for the last mile when I had to carry him.
