Mount Rainier is hard for me to get my head around. It is an incredible (to this flatlander) 14,410 feet tall.
The weather at the top is much different than the weather at the bottom. In fact I think it makes its own weather.
Much of the time you can’t even see the top.
Then it clears off. It is very majestic.
It has glaciers year round.
That feed incredible waterfalls.
And Rivers, this one didn’t look like much but you should have heard its roar from way above the canyon.
Aside from the fact that it is not an extinct volcano, the mountain seems alive. It is dangerous also. About three people a year die in mountaineering accidents on the mountain.
Aren’t you glad we have our National Parks? I am.
Me too! These pictures are so beautiful. I would love to see it in person one day.
Awesome shots of Mt Rainier. It is beautiful. Great shots of the mountain top, glaciers and the waterfalls. I am very thankful for our National Parks.
These are fantastic captures of Mt. Rainier and it is an awesome mountain isn’t it!! I’m so glad you got to enjoy so much of the northwest on your visit to this lovely, wonderful city!! Have a great week!!
Wow! Those are some mighty ompressive landscapes. Really good captures too.
Beautiful series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
It certainly is a majestic mountain. It must be incredible to have views of that mountain nearby. What a way to start the day.
Yes. Certainly something to be proud of !
Thank you for this journey. Please have a good Tuesday.
Yes, we LOVE our National Parks. Your images are spectacular! So wonderful!
Beautiful photos!
National parks are treasures! I heartily believe in them and wish all Americans and Canadians knew how lucky we are to have so much land saved for us and future generations.
A truly wonderful photo set. Makes me want to head for the hills.
Incredible! This has me shivering. Your photos have me looking forward to the change of seasons. Thanks!
Your images truly capture the spirit of Mt Rainier, and in many moods as mountains do make their own weather. How deep is that canyon?
I LOVE National Parks! But of course. 😉
Wow – your shots capture the awesome majesty of the mountain!
I’m in total agreement with you re. National Parks – they’re wonderful. I live within thirty miles of the Lakeland National Park – magnificent lakes and countryside and so unspoiled. Your Mount Rainier is much more spectacular for height etc. but I think all National Parks have their own beauty.
Mount Rainier is a beautiful place. My boys have climbed it several times from different routes. Why anyone would want to climb over all that ice and snow, I don’t know, and I always worry when they’re on the mountain. I prefer to look from a nice safe unglaciered distance!
Yes, we’re lucky in the U.S. to have so many beautiful national parks.
You captured great photos of Rainier, Yogi. I hear it’s often obscured by cloud cover.
