Somewhere near Grand Coulee Dam, Washington. The sun had not fully sunk, yet the moon could not wait to shine

Hurricane Ridge, with an elevation of 5342 ft, is one of the most beautiful spots within Olympic National Park, Washington. The 17-mile drive to the Visitor Center is so amazing with plenty of vistas to stop by and take some photos
Below are some photos I took from Visitor Center compound. We didn’t have the chance to hike, since, as you can see, the snow pile was still too high.

Sometimes the final destination is not the thing we remember most on a trip. Sometimes on the way to a certain place, we pass through an absolutely beautiful place and we know that we will never forget that place.
One of these beautiful places is Palouse, about 15 miles north of Pullman, where the Washington State University is located. Thousands of acres of wheat fields with an array of different colors, due to the differences in the planting and harvest time, decorate the hilly area. Very charming…..
Sebenarnya lokasinya tidak jauh – hanya sekitar 45 menit – dari Seattle, namun setelah tinggal lebih dari satu tahun di kawasan Seattle, kami baru mengunjungi tempat ini untuk pertama kalinya. Tepatnya pada tanggal 4 April 2009. Padahal Snoqualmie Falls ini adalah salah satu atraksi wisata Washington yang paling terkenal. Lebih dari satu setengah juta orang mengunjungi tempat ini setiap tahunnya.
Pemandangannya pun begitu indah dan spektakuler. Air terjun Snoqualmie atau Snoqualmie Falls ini meluncurkan airnya dari tebing granit setinggi 268 ft atau sekitar 82 meter. Terletak di antara kota Snoqualmie dan Falls City di Negara Bagian Washington.
Pada kunjungan pertama kami, taman bagian bawah sedang ditutup untuk publik. Jadi kami hanya bisa menikmati keindahan air terjun ini dari viewing gallery di Snoqualmie Falls Park bagian atas. Merasa tidak puas dua setengah bulan kemudian, kami melakukan kunjungan kedua ke Snoqualmie Falls. Kunjungan kedua ini pesertanya lumayan banyak. Ada keluarga Soehedi yang terdiri dari mas Agung, Yani dan ketiga anak mereka; Sasha, Adi dan Noval yang sudah tinggal di Amerika selama 10 tahun. Ada juga adik saya, Meina dan anaknya Widya yang sedang liburan ke Seattle. Ternyata …… Yani yang sudah tinggal 10 tahun di Seattle dan anak-anaknya belum pernah mengunjungi tempat ini. Jadi bisa dibayangkan betapa hebohnya mereka.
Selain mengunjungi air terjun, Downtown Snoqualmie juga menarik untuk dikunjungi. Sekedar untuk jalan-jalan, ngopi atau makan siang.

A warm sunny afternoon is a rare oppurtunity in Seattle. We would not going to waste a wonderful afternoon by just staying at home. My son was even more than willing to leave his computer to join us.
We left our Renton Home and drove through Enumclaw, when we saw a big deer, as big a a cow, crossing the street.
The distance from our home to Mt. Rainier National Park is about 60 miles. And the distance between the entrance gate to Paradise Visiting Center is about 20 miles.
Leaving the town of Enumclaw, we drove among the giant evergreen trees. Once in a while we saw Mount Rainier all covered with everlasting snow peeking between trees. Some other times it was standing proudly directly in front of us.
We stopped at Reflection Lake to take picture, where Mt. Rainier was reflected on the surace of the lake.
Our final destination was Paradise Visiting Center. A wonderful place to sip coffee with Mt. Rainier looming over us through tall window.
