My husband calls this: "Portrait of The Mountain." We've spent many years exploring the backcountry in Mt Rainier NP, from every aspect and in every season. This is very temperamental volcano … sometimes it can be extremely threatening, while other times gentle and kind. Here we were camped in a backcountry zone the first night of a 4-day backpack that would take us deeper into the interior. The morning scene was just so picturesque and inviting. We couldn't wait to get back on the trail.
