There are enough little critters in Mount Rainier National Park to keep people interested year after year. But it doesn’t stop there. Mount Rainier is full of life one could hardly expect to see it all.
There are a few big cats that roam around the mountainside. They are rarely seen by people though, so you don’t have to worry much about being attacked by one. Just remember to keep animals on a leash and to not let small children wonder off. Keeping your food packed up and your campsite clean will also add safety to your visit. And if you see one… don’t pet it.
Here are three of the parks big furballs…
Puma/Cougar/Mountain Lion:
Bobcat:
Lynx (not seen in the park since 1906)
I’ve posted before on a couple of the deer, but here are some more pictures…
Elk/Wapiti
Black Tailed Deer
Mule Deer
The deer I’ve seen around the park, and it’s cool every time. I’m still hoping to see a big cat! The more we can get out there to camp on Mt. Rainier the more chances we’ll have to see one. And it’s that time again to resupply for summer camping. Time for a visit to Whittaker Mountaineering!
I’ve probably said this a hundred times, but I know it’s truer every time I think about it… God is amazing!!! If it’s overwhelming to see His creatures here in this world, I can’t imagine what it’ll be like to see the heavenly ones someday! Praise God!!!
Writing for Christ!
