Wanting to escape the summer heat and smoky haze from the BC wildfires, on a whim we decided to drive up to Mt. Rainier National Park and camp for the night. Upon reaching the Paradise summit at 5,420' elevation, there was indeed less smoke from the fires, but even here the temperature was in the upper 80's, and it was very humid. Cougar Rock Campground, at 3,200' elevation where we tented for the night was uncomfortably hot, with the daytime temperature near 90! After we set up our tent, we discovered that in our haste we forgot to bring sleeping bags! So, we improvised. A moving blanket that we had stowed in our car kept us cozy for the night on top of our inflatable mattress. As you can see from this video, the scenery was amazing and our brief escape to Mt. Rainier National Park was well worth it!
