Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Day 266: Kiddies, you did NOT see the ranger doing this! I'm ratting out my good friend and colleague Kevin who looked like he was break-dancing as he balanced precariously on the edge of the stone guard rail at Sunrise Point, Mt. Adams in the distance and a precipitous drop only a step away. We were called out from our regular duties today to go to Sunrise and couldn't resist stopping at this popular viewpoint for a few photos. Even rangers like to take pictures of the Park's many magnificent features and vistas, and Sunrise offers some of the best at 6400' elevation. Right now, there is still quite a bit of snow on the ground and the trails are largely obscured, but the wildflowers are beginning to emerge at the margins. Come visit us and bring your camera, but please keep your feet on solid ground!
