Reflection Lake at Mount Rainier National Park in Washington 8/18/23 | Landscapes in The West by Jeff Hollett
Mount Rainier and Reflection Lake, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
I almost deleted the original photo as I thought that the fog obscured too much of Mount Rainier. I shot this at ISO 6400 with the Fuji and was not hopeful that anything would come out that was decent. I am now glad I didn't as I like how it turned out.
Best viewed large.

This is the scene that I found before sunrise at Reflection Lakes on the last morning of my 2011 visit to Mt. Rainier. Someone had obviously "planted" the flowers in the lake the day before and I was delighted to see them when the dark began to give way to the morning.
This will be my last expression of sorrow for the ranger who lost her life on New Years Day. Now that I have finally seen a photograph of her, I remember talking to her and can recall her enthusiasm for her job.
I found the following on the visitrainier.com website. It contains details of her memorial, how donations can be made and of the incident:

Please direct all condolences, offers of assistance and inquiry e-mails to MountRainierInfo@gmail.com.
On the morning of January 1 Park Ranger Margaret Anderson set up a traffic block to intercept a vehicle that failed to stop at a chain-up checkpoint. The driver opened fire on Ranger Anderson, killing her, and then fled on foot into the woods. Margaret Anderson, 34, worked at Mount Rainier for 3 years. She is survived by her husband Eric, also a ranger in the park, and two young children.
Mount Rainier National Park closed during the hunt for the gunman, with the park evacuating park visitors to get them out of potential danger. There were 125 visitors in lock down at the Paradise Visitor Center from Sunday noon until 3:30 a.m. Monday. They were escorted out of the park in small groups of five vehicles, escorted by law enforcement officers. There were also 25 visitors at the National Park Inn at Longmire who were evacuated out of the park. Visitors had been held at these locations for their own safety.
The intensive search came to an end on Monday, January 2. An aircraft spotted a body lying face down in the vicinity of Narada Falls. Searchers on the ground traversed challenging terrain to reach the subject and confirmed his identity as Benjamin Colton Barnes, the suspect in the shooting. Officials confirm that Barnes was found dead.
An investigation into the incident is being led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with Park Rangers and Pierce County Sheriff's Department assisting. The NPS Western Incident Management Team is assisting the park with planning a memorial service for Ranger Anderson and with ongoing park needs.
Approximately 250 personnel were involved in search operations. Agencies participating in the search effort include Pierce County Sheriff's Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Tacoma Police Department, Washington State Patrol, Customs & Border Patrol, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Forest Service, Pierce County Fire Districts, Lewis County Sheriff's Department, Enumclaw PD, Portland PD, Seattle PD, Snohomish PD, National Park Service rangers, and law enforcement officers from other jurisdictions as well. Resources included K-9 Units, armored vehicles, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
This was a 3 martini shot - In other words, my wife had 3 martinis in the hotel bar waiting for me to get this shot.
Luckily, she had Paulo, the Italian bartender, to look at.

I had been working a foggy dawn shot of Mt Rainier at Reflection Lake for about 40 minutes when another photographer arrived and set up next to me. As the sky over the mountain started to clear I worked frantically to finally get the shot I had hoped for.
After a few minutes, I noticed that the other guy had stopped shooting and was just taking in the moment.
I took a deep breath, pulled my head out from behind the viewfinder...and did the same.
Sometimes a little reminder like this helps me remember that photography should be about a lot more than just the pictures!

PS: This is a stitched 6 frame Pano. I had hoped for a colorful sunrise but it was not to be. However, I loved the dramatic cloud patterns and thought the scene might best presented in Black and White...thoughts?

Finally saw Rainier's reflection from Reflection Lake. Was here last year and the winds was too strong for an reflection to form. Was running around in the morning looking for comps and thought of using the tree and the wildflowers to form an inverted V. Also met ART WOLFE! What an exciting morning! :)
Reflection Lakes is one of the most photographed spots in Mt. Rainier. It's close to the road, Paradise Inn is just a couple miles away, and the lake provides a perfect mirror for the mountain. In July and August, there are (supposedly) wildflowers all along the banks.
Do you notice something missing from Reflection Lakes in my shot? Like, maybe the REFLECTION? LOL It was still under a few feet of snow thanks to the extra 300 inches the area received over the winter.
I had to try and figure out a way to make this old, dirty snow scene photogenic. I figured that shooting it at dawn might make for some pretty, soft, pastel colors. I don't know that I succeeded... but here you go!
It's a big world out there... and that is before you take reflections into account. If you do, then things get even more vast.
A view from the Paradise Meadow Trails heading up Skyline Trail. Mount Adams can be see off in a distance in this photo. Mount Rainier is a massive stratovolcano located 54 miles southeast of Seattle in Washington State. Mt. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of its large amount of glacial ice, Mt. Rainier could potentially produce massive lahars (mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris and water) that would threaten the entire Puyallup River Valley.

I have been trying to get a good reflection of the Milky Way with a mountain. Well, it's not quite the interesting part of the Milky Way, but did get some nice stars and a couple climbing parties on the mountain :)
Absolutely insane sunrise. Makes getting up at 4:00 in the morning for 8 straight days worth it. Not only is there a lenticular cloud above the mountain, but the wind profile around Rainier was such that it created a vertical vortex that emulated supercell updraft structure. It's difficult to see at this resolution, but the updraft even had a stacked plate structure with noticeable striations. This is a quick and dirty processing job (what little I did) while I am still in Washington. None of the colors were altered, if anything, they are less intense that what they were this morning due to the huge dynamic range.
I've posted a very similar shot from this location, which can be seen here (in case this looks familiar to anyone).
Once again, while working on a project I was brought back to photos from my long road trip from San Francisco to Seattle last year. The first evening we had a brief opportunity to stop at Lassen Volcanic National Park. I knew essentially nothing about the park and only had a few hours to take it in, but in those few hours I was very impressed with what I saw. Just before sunset my wife and I took a walk around this small lake at the north exit of the park, Reflection Lake. From the opposite bank of the lake you'd be looking back towards Lassen Peak and its reflection in the lake. As we were just making our way back to the car the sky lit up beautifully with the warm light of sunset. Looking back to Lassen Peak it took on an amazing pink-orange color, but I was not in a good position to photograph it, but the view across the lake was fantastic.
The small branches seen in my other photo were just at the bottom of the frame in this shot (I cloned out the bit you could see, I think I had only a small area on the bank to work with otherwise I'm sure I'd have just adjustment my position to avoid it all together). I also simulated a 1.5 stop ND Grad filter by blending two exposures, differing only in their 'exposure' value, to lighten the right side of the frame.
Lassen Volcanic NP was much more than I expected for how little I've ever heard about it. If you happen to be making the drive past on I-5, it's well worth the short excursion east to check it out.

Reflection Lakes
At 14,411 feet, Mount Rainier is the highest volcanic peak in the Cascade Mountain Range. Mount Rainier National Park is the nation's 5th National Park. It was created in 1899. It is a land of exceptional beauty, containing lowland valleys, waterfalls, alpine scenery and more than 25 glaciers. There are also two historic hotels located within the Park.
Who shoots landscape photos in the middle of the day? I do. It's not a great idea as most photographers would tell you and I completely agree with them. The light is too harsh which makes everything look flat.
The photo above was taken around 2 in the afternoon. I would have not taken the shot if it weren't for the cloud formation.
The Reflections Lakes aren't quite melted off yet, though the pools of melted snow look interesting. I might just drive back there in a week or two. Hopefully early enough to catch the first light.

A calm reflection lake at Jinshan.
Note, the sulfur mist in the middle of the photo was emitted from the hot springs located at the valley of the hill behind the stone.

Day 62 - October 4, 2009 - Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Upon arriving at the park, I went straight to the Paradise area and the Henry M Jackson Visitor Center. I was going to hike along the Skyline Trail, but clouds obstructed views of the mountain. Views off of the mountain were still fine, but I decided to wait for another day. I went over to Reflection Lakes to see if I could see the mountain. Well, as I pulled alongside Reflection Lakes, I was greeted with this scene. It looked like clouds were coming from the mountain and then vanishing after floating a mile or two.
