Perfect day to view the mountain. Not a cloud in the sky. Took a hike up to a waterfall, it was very steep but well worth the walk. We went to Longmire and Paradise, just a very small part of the park. Many of the roads were not open yet due to snow. Some don't open until August. When we parked the truck at Paradise a man in the next vehicle asked if we bought the truck in Bangor. He was a policeman from Waterville that was doing some training with the National Guard in the area, such a small world. The views are unbelievable. Many waterfalls, some right along the road and some you have to hike to find. The drive through the park is mostly tree lined. Even the trees are amazing, they are huge and so incredibly straight! We did see a couple of deer. Only one posed for us, the raccoon we saw didn't stop. We also tried to take a picture of a bird, some kind of cobalt blue crested jay, he flew off just as we took the picture so it didn't come out. Off to Bellingham tomorrow.
