Mount Rainier, Washington's Highest Peak
View allAll Photos Tagged MtRainier
Hard to beat a bird's eye view.
This photo was taken about 6.5 minutes before the shot I posted of St. Helens. The light was changing fast and I was hoping St. Helens would be all pink, too, but by the time the plane was in a good position for me to get the shot, the sun had gone down quite a bit in just those 6 1/2 minutes.
I'm sure many of you know what mountain this is. If not, you can read the following:
"Mount Rainier, also known as Tahoma, is a large active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest in the United States. The mountain is located in Mount Rainier National Park about 59 miles south-southeast of Seattle.
Due to its high probability of an eruption in the near future, Mount Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list.
With a summit elevation of 14,417 ft (4,394 m), it is the highest mountain in the U.S. state of Washington and the Cascade Range, the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States, and the tallest in the Cascade Volcanic Arc.
The large amount of glacial ice means that Mount Rainier could produce massive lahars that could threaten the entire Puyallup River valley. According to the United States Geological Survey, "about 80,000 people and their homes are at risk in Mount Rainier's lahar-hazard zones."
Between 1950 and 2018, 439,460 people climbed Mount Rainier. Approximately 84 people died in mountaineering accidents on Mount Rainier from 1947 to 2018. (Wikipedia)
Hmmm, a sleeping beauty?

I've been going through some old photos and re-editing them. This is much better than the original photo I took. I took this from the ferry we were on. I was in awe of this beautiful mountain.
The only meteor I caught on an image in about 7 hours. There were lots of meteors in the sky, just not where I was aiming.

From our Summer 2021 two-week trip from California to Mt. Ranier, Washington, July 2021. What is truly striking about this image is the amount of snow that has already melted, all caused by the heat spells that struck the Northwest in May and June.

Mt Rainier, brighter version
(tinkered with shadows and highlights on these, but not with color saturation)
I'm sure everyone has similar experience that other people choose different favorites that I would. I think this is a much more exceptional image (although not a good version as it appears on Flickr on my monitor) - www.flickr.com/photos/29750062@N06/2991833005/
