Thanks for posting your photos of Mt Rainier, Oldhiker & Andrew. How long ago were your pics taken? I find it startling how much the "permanent" snow pack & glaciers have receded, as your pics well illustrate.

I was impressed & a bit surprised by how much Mt Rainier stands out from its surroundings. There's other mountains nearby, but nothing even close in height. It's quite dramatic.

For a different perspective, I thought I'd add a couple more photos of Mt Rainier taken as our plane flew over it on our way back to Phoenix. With the reduced snow cap, I noticed a circular formation which I think is the volcanic crater.
