The Behemoth












I just had to include these pictures because it was so impressive to me. Mount Rainier looms over the area on a clear day. Truly 'gi-nourmous' at over 10,000 feet and that is seen from sea level. It is so huge the pictures cannot grasp it. To give an idea of scale, the closest we were at any point here was probably 3o miles away. Many,many days the top is not visible because of the cloud cover. Yes, the glaciers are always there.
