Filler.
From Sunday's hike to Panorama Point. This was about the end of the paved part of the trail. The loose rock is generally under snow most of the year and isn't very stable. As much as I love this mountain, I always am very conscientious of the weather and potential slides. I love the clouds that hover over the top 2000-5000 feet.
This is truly stunning!!! Jan...I admire your love for this kind of adventure and your skills! Your photography is amazing and a joy to be able to experience these amazing views and scenery with you!!! This is so beautiful it has to be a FAV
@eyesmile - Awww - Gena you totally made my day - heck, my entire week! That's the nicest thing anyone has said about my photography. Thank you! I love Mt Rainier, and I am glad you can see that in the pics I take.
@maggiemae - yes - have to be on top of the weather, Maggiemae. On the day we did this hike, we learned after we got home that three Canadian climbers had fallen into a crevasse and had to be airlifted in critical condition. We were surprised at all the climbers attempting to make the summit - it's very late in the year to do this slushy snow at the top makes for avalanche danger. @gizathecat - Thanks Lydia - I hope you get up to Mt Rainier while you are in the area! @mamamia@chrissieh@mamamia@anazad511@libertylady@swilde@nanalisarocks - thanks everyone - so easy to take interesting shots at Mt Rainier because it's jaw droppingly spectacular whereever you look.
You are showing a part of the mountain I have never seen and it is till so very beautiful I am glad you captured that cloud and especially glad you are mindful of the potential dangers
This looks like such a refreshing, cool place to hike. Beautfiul shot and scenery. It is comforting to know you are careful about where you go and when.
I have really enjoyed your Mt Ranier photos! I love mountains but am not fit enough to treck to the places you are able to get to so thank you for sharing with us! Another stunning shot! Fav!
Breathtaking Jan! Huge FAV I love this. The composition is stunning, it is just a wonderful place to live and have this on your doorstep! I love the way the path, green grass and loose rocks are complemented by the blues and greys of the mountain. Topped off with that fabulous white cloud!! Simply jaw droppingly stunning!!
