At least we had a hut to stay in for this image. As we got onto the ridge of the Green Mountains this view opened up
The view from my drive to Mt Rainier, the promise of a good day on the mountain
South of Rainier is the rim of a massive (and very old) caldera called the Tatoosh, this is one of the peaks along the rim. To get the next shot I camped just out of shot on the left of this image (but not in December when this image was taken)
