Snapshots of mountains, wetlands, and local residents

During the day we traveled to Mount Rainier National Park.  Heading up to the Paradise visitors center the workshop participants learned about the geology of Mount Rainier, the ecology of high elevation wetlands, and the human impacts at locations of high visitation.
