We stayed in a largish cabin that looks better here than on the inside. And don't get me going about the 'kitchen' - I think the utensils are unappealing so that guests will go to the restaurant.
The scenery is stunning.
And light over the lake changes constantly.
We hiked short trails on the south and the north side of Lake Quinault.
The first day it rained all day, but on the second day it was sunny. W walked with me through the rain and, by the end, we both were quite wet. On the 2nd day E and I walked with a pleasant older couple.
On the north side of Lake Quinault is an abandoned (Kestner) homestead, founded in 1889. The deer is munching leaves on the homestead grounds.
The range of light on the sunny day was too extreme for my light-weight photo correction software, so I apologize for the washed out areas.
We drove into Mt. Rainier National Park, stopping at the White River Campground to hike part of the Glacier Basin Trail. Alas, heavy rain in 2006 washed out large sections. We walked as far as we - as a family - could, which wasn't far. We did see plenty of moraine (lots 'o rocks dumped by melting ice).
Next we drove up to the Sunrise rest stop, and wandered about. The snow covered mountain is Mt. Rainier.
W took our 'tourist picture,' with Mt. Rainier in the background.
Of the trails near our resort, this was the easiest to find. Near Mt. Rainier all trails go up and down, and most cross or follow one or more creeks. W wasn't into hiking, but liked the scenery.
The hike to Goat Head Falls takes 2 - 3 miles. E and I nearly made it but, toward the end, E decided he'd had enough and we turned around. It didn't help that, on one stretch, we wandered off in a wrong direction. 
Later G and I drove closer to the falls, then hiked to the end.
The large rock on the far right forms the 'goat's head,' but we weren't convinced. Perhaps in the Spring, when there is considerably more water rushing by, it looks more like a goat's head.
These were taking while hiking, either close to Mt. Rainier or in Washington's rain forest.
