Bridge over the Nisqually River

This was taken between Longmire and Paradise on the trail to Carter Falls (which we did not visit). This hiker's bridge is the only way to get across the Nisqually River safely and the views of Rainier from this area are magnificent. In the photo my wife and hiking companion is crossing the bridge (and stopping to take photos). This was the third stop on our trip to Rainier last summer and it was still early morning when this photo was taken
