Mid-June on Mount Rainier

Mid-June on Mount Rainier

It may look like a winter scene, but this close-up of Mount Rainier was photographed from the tree line where altitude and elevation inhibits further growth of trees and shrubs and the lush evergreen forests peter out into icy, snow-covered expanses of white. Look closely and you will see one of the 25 major glaciers on the peak that look much like a rocky, frozen river of ancient ice that ever so slowly flows down this enormous active volcano at its own pace. Some of the glaciers you can see here are (from left to right) Van Trump Glacier, Wilson Glacier, and Paradise Glacier.
