点评:This lovely destination that was just a few miles from Paradise, is named for the Lakes that reflect views of Mount Rainier. There are sub-alpine meadows around the lake, and they are protected by not allowing the hikers to trample on them. Boating and Fishing is also not permitted.
The setting was very serene. We had the perfect afternoon light with a very light breeze, so we could see the majestic mountain reflected in the crystal-clear waters. We captured some great photos but still felt that the pictures could not do justice to what our eyes were seeing. Surprisingly, there was quite a bot of snow on the lakes as well as on the banks – enough snow close enough to reach out over the fence and make snowballs.
The area was very accessible by car. The low wall and the plaques to read were close by to our parking spot. Right across was the lovely Stevens Canyon with the deep valleys and massive trees. What a perfect viewing spot right in the heart of Mount Rainier National Park.
翻译:这个美丽的目的地距离天堂仅几英里,因倒映着雷尼尔山美景的湖泊而得名。湖周围是亚高山草甸,这些草甸受到保护,禁止徒步旅行者踩踏。此外,也禁止划船和钓鱼。
环境非常宁静。午后的阳光恰到好处,微风轻拂,我们可以看到雄伟的山峰倒映在清澈的湖水中。我们拍了一些很棒的照片,但仍然觉得照片无法真实地展现我们亲眼所见的景象。令人惊讶的是,湖面和湖岸上都积了厚厚的雪——积雪厚到可以越过栅栏堆雪球。
该地区很容易驾车抵达。矮墙和可供阅读的牌匾就在我们停车的地方附近。对面就是美丽的史蒂文斯峡谷,峡谷内有深邃的山谷和参天大树。雷尼尔山国家公园中心地带的观景台真是个完美的选择。
