Mount Ngauruhoe is an active stratovolcano and is the youngest vent in the Tongariro volcanic complex on the Central Plateau of the North Island, and first erupted about 2,500 years ago. Although often regarded as a separate mountain, geologically it is a secondary cone of Mount Tongariro. (Wikipedia)

Taken years and years ago now... Me and a bunch of friends hit up this gorgeous little spot to have a few beers and a campfire. This still remains an unmarked turnoff. Most people do not know how easily accessible this spot it. As you drive away from Jasper going towards the Icefields... This sits unmarked just after Athabasca Falls.

Mount Rainier is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, and the highest mountain in the state of Washington. It is a large active stratovolcano located 54 miles (87 km) southeast of Seattle. It is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States and the Cascade Volcanic Arc, with a summit elevation of 14,411 ft (4,392 m). Mt. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list. Because of its large amount of glacial ice, Mt. Rainier could potentially produce massive lahars that could threaten the entire Puyallup River valley.
Mount Rainier was first known by the Native Americans as Talol, or Tacoma or Tahoma, from the Lushootseed word [təqʷúʔbəʔ] ("mother of waters") spoken by the Puyallup. Another interpretation is that "Tacoma" means "larger than Mount Baker". This comes from the Skagit "Ta", larger, plus "Koma (Kulshan)", Mount Baker. Other names originally used include Tahoma, Tacobeh, and Pooskaus. The current name was given by George Vancouver, who named it in honor of his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier. The map of the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-1806 refers to it as "Mt. Regniere".
Although "Rainier" had been considered the official name of the mountain, Theodore Winthrop, in his posthumously published 1862 travel book The Canoe and the Saddle, referred to the mountain as "Tacoma" and for a time, both names were used interchangeably, although "Mt. Tacoma" was preferred in the city of Tacoma.
In 1890, the United States Board on Geographic Names declared that the mountain would be known as "Rainier". Following this in 1897, the Pacific Forest Reserve became the Mount Rainier Forest Reserve, and the national park was established three years later. Despite this, there was still a movement to change the mountain's name to "Tacoma" and Congress was still considering a resolution to change the name as late as 1924.
In the excitement leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII, John Hickenlooper, Governor of Colorado, named 53 mountains after the 53 members of the Denver Broncos. In response, the Washington State Senate passed a resolution on Friday, January 31, 2014, temporarily renaming the mountain Mount Seattle Seahawks. The resolution expired on midnight Monday, February 3, 2014.

Mount Hood is to Portland as Mount Rainier is to Seattle. An enormous stratovolcano that dominates the skyline!
There's a lovely 16 km (return distance) walk to the summit of Mount Allan from the Ribbon Creek trailhead. You still gain more than 1400 m's elevation, but there aren't any "technical" sections. Lots of marmots too... The coolest place is the section near gendarmes, huge pillars of rock.

Mount Assiniboine is a pyramidal peak mountain located on the Great Divide, on the British Columbia/Alberta border in Canada. It is the highest peak (3,618 m) in the Southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. There are two ways to get here: one is to get in and out by helicopter, and the other is to walk more than 30 kilometers in one way. The helicopter lifts to huts or lodge at Lake Magog. Mount Assiniboine rises nearly 1,525m above Lake Magog.
Spent three days in a hut by taking helicopter in Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park, with no electricity, no signal, and heated by camp fire at night. There are only 5 huts in the park, and limited campsites and lodges for people to stay overnight. Luggage by helicopter cannot exceed 40 pounds. Need to bring own garbage down the mountain.
From the huts to the top of the mountain, had to climb 5.7 kilometers to Niblet to shoot the sunrise and sunset at Sunburst Peaks. The hiking trail from the huts to Nub Peak via Niblet was the best trail ever. Woke up at 4am in the morning and climbed the mountain with a headlamp on, also with bear spray, to capture the sunrise; hiked down the mountains and climbed up again before sunset to capture sunset… After the sunset, it was dark, went down the mountain with headlamp on, so afraid contacting with bears ... Did like this for two days. No electricity and no signal for three days, went to the river to get water, boiled water at the public "kitchen" … lived as a savage for three days.
This was the scene before sunset, clouds hanging on top of Mount Assiniboine! This is the sight of heaven falling on earth. It was truly a place of incredible peace…a place for you to disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature… (Sept.18, 2022)

Mount Index is located along US-2 on the route from Everett to Stevens Pass. It has an elevation of 5,991 ft (1,826 m), and a prominence of 2991 ft (912 m). The prominence is the height of a mountain relative to the land around it.
The sharp peak in the right of the image technically isn't Mount Index. Rather, Mount Index is located in the cloud bank to the left of that peak, and is in fact a few meters higher than that sharp peak.
From where I see it on a daily basis (weather permitting), it appears as an almost vertical cliff. That's because it rises more than 4,250 ft (1,300m) above the lower slopes on the northeast side in less than 1 horizontal mile (1.6 km). I never knew what I was looking at until I drove past it.

It was raining a bit too much when I arrived at the spot, so I set up my tripod in the passenger seat of my truck and lowered the window to shoot the pic, lol.

This is a shot taken from the bridge joining the Perth CBD (downtown) with Mount St access to Kings Park Botanic Gardens. Ive been exploring this area in more detail and the earlier shots I posted were from this same area. The purple of the flowering Jacarandas can be seen clearly along with the city apartment buildings.
Reposting since I accidentally deleted one of my favorite photos from last year while using the mobile app...
This shot of Mount Rundle was unplanned and unexpected. I was driving into Banff, Alberta with my brother as the sun was setting, and out of the corner of my eye I caught the sun illuminating the tip of the mountain, reflecting in the lake below. Thankfully my brother is very supportive of my hobby, so he pulled off the side of the road and waited a good long while for me to set up this shot. To this day, it's my favorite of my collection.
In this Mount recorded the steps involved in making hard cider,presenting an image of life on a farm in Setauket, Long Island that is vivid and cheerful,but also a thinly veiled allusion to current events.A newspaper story published in connection with the painting suggested the Mount modeled each figure as a reference to a participant in the presidential campaign of 1840,in which the Whigs defeated the Jacksonian democrats by promoting their candidate,William Henry Harrison,as a common man who would rather drink cider in a cabin than move into the White House.
