Silver Queen from the Summit 💙

Crystal Mountain, located in the Cascade Range, is best known for alpine skiing and snowboarding activities. However, I don’t do either, yet I decided to visit because from here one can get a closer look at all the major mountain ranges around Seattle, especially Mt Rainier. 😍 Here’s how I did: • Reached the Crystal Mountains at 10:30 and walked around for a while. • Ate Bratwurst and drank brandy infused coffee 🤤 I will surely be coming back for more 😛 • Reached the Summit on the Gondola and got a scenic view of the mountains. Although Mt. Rainier was playing hide and seek still we managed to get a good view. • Lastly, fed the Canadian Jays some nuts. P.S: I carry bird feed wherever I go 🤣 If you’re planning to visit the Crystal Mountains without a car, here’s how you can reach: • Your location —> Auburn Transit Centre • Take 915 from Auburn Transit Centre to Enumclaw Expo Center • Lyft or Uber from here. We took the Winter Shuttle that runs between Nov (mid) and April (beginning) #backpackingwithmylens #seattle #pindleusa #mountains
