Carbon River
The Carbon River gets its start from the Carbon Glacier high on Mount Rainier in Washington State and flows generally northwestwardly with a lot of meandering toward the valleys below. It gets its white, mineral-rich water from silt and sediments washed down this active volcano's peaks downhill where it joins the Puyallup River where it empties into the Puget Sound. This portion of this beautiful river was photographed just a few miles upstream from Carbonado, Washington on a sunny, warm July day, about 15 miles northwest of Mount Rainier.
