The Mountain

The Mountain Iconic white peak floats over the region from Seattle to Tacoma. Seen easily on clear sunny days, natures heavily glacially mantled edifice inspires us to reach great heights, as we stand in awe of this beautiful sleeping volcanic strato giant that we have called Rainier, also known earlier as Tahoma.

If you have never been there and done that you will never realize off of the majesty of Seattle. It is completely surrounded by mountains and ranges. Seattle Seahawks were great also. Jim Horn

Thanks, Pandita. Unfortunately, I cannot see the mountain currently from my house (about 50 miles away) as smoke from large forest fires in BC, Canada obscure it from my view.
