Mount Rainier

Here are pictures from our visit to the Mt. Rainier area . The one with the flowers was from our patio table at the cafe on the summit of Crystal Mountain. Okay, the flowers were actually in planters around the deck, but it made for a pretty picture.

I’m also including a picture of Mt. St. Helens, about 60 miles away. Those of us old enough to remember it will never forget when it erupted in May, 1980. It’s generally considered the worst natural disaster in US history.

These gondolas rise about 2,000 feet to the summit of Crystal Mountain, which is at about 7,000 feet and has a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier.
