It doesn't have to be lonely at the top. A great day in the mountains begins as we journey south to Mt. Rainier National Park. Rolling farmlands hide the violent past of Rainier and provide “in your face views” on the way to Paradise for a legendary brunch. Two massive fireplaces warm the lobby, richly patterned Native American rugs bring color and texture to the historic log inn built in 1930. And ooh la la , the menu–eggs, breakfast meats, western potatoes, portabella ravioli, asparagus chicken on wild rice…and the seafood–crawfish, salmon, shrimp, oysters…and Roast Baron of Beef…and then the desserts–out of this world.
