Mt. Rainier From 20,000 Feet



On my flight from Denver to Seattle from the window of the plane I could see Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier, all in one field of view. Of course I didn't get a picture of it, but here are several photos of the flight past Mt. Rainier.




It was brilliantly sunny at altitude but completely socked in down below, so I took photos of the descent starting with the Olympics as we turned north to the airport, then down through the clouds, until we emerged only 30 seconds before we touched down.

Even the flight tower was obscured by the low clouds.

And of course, it was raining on the tarmac. Welcome to Seattle.
