I haven&#8217;t been to Mount Rainier since I was a kid and I barely remember it! But we wanted somewhere kind of remote to visit, where there weren&#8217;t a lot of crowds (covid) and good hiking nearby! My parents joined us. The house we rented was super cute and perfect for us. The drive there was&#8230;.interesting. Very rural. Not much to see, lots of tr*mp\/confederate flag\/don&#8217;t tread on me flags in people&#8217;s yards&#8230;.it was definitely a&#8230;vibe. It was disconcerting but, Mount Rainier was fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We arrived Thursday evening and got settled in. Friday we had a lazy morning and then went for a hike near the house we rented. We did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltrails.com\/trail\/us\/washington\/skate-creek-trail\">Skate Creek Hike<\/a>, 2 miles roundtrip through old forest and along a very low river (I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s bigger in the winter time). It was really pretty and we barely saw anyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
