Mt Rainier 11/10/07 2 miles
I promised myself I would take the usually rainy month of November to sit inside and get some organizational stuff done. That lasted 10 days. When friends started talking about heading for Mt Rainier for possible snow pictures, I was right there with them.
What greeted us was not the blankets of snow we had envisioned but a thin crust of ice and snow. Traveling was a bit treacherous as we made our way past the new visitor center at Paradise to Myrtle Falls. Although the new VC isn't finished, it is completely enclosed and rapidly taking shape.
After grabbing a few shots of Myrtle Falls and the mountain that peaked out from the clouds just long enough to tease us, we continued up the hill hoping to reach a heavier dusting of snow along Mazama Ridge. However, the way became Even more treacherous and we decided to turn around, but not till after we grabbed some images of the glowing clouds encompassing the Tatoosh Range.
