Mountain Majesty
Imposing Mt. Rainier looms in the distance above Tipsoo Lake.
"Mount Rainier is ranked third of the 128 ultra-prominent mountain peaks of the United States. Denali and Mauna Kea are taller from their base. Mount Rainier has a topographic prominence of 13,210 ft (4,026 m), which is greater than that of K2, the world's second-tallest mountain, at 13,189 ft (4,020 m). With 26 major glaciers and 36 sq mi (93 km2) of permanent snowfields and glaciers, Mount Rainier is the most heavily glaciated peak in the lower 48 states." Wiki
As always many thanks for taking a look and for any comments, faves and suggestions.
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!
