After a day of cloudy conditions that limited visibility to below the tree line, my buddies and I were hiking when we turned a corner and beheld just part of Mount Rainier thanks to a chance gap in the clouds.
All we could say was "whoa" as we stood dumbfounded by the immensity of the scene before us. We only had a few lucky minutes to take it all in before the clouds reclaimed our field of vision. We felt terrible for the couple who hiked by soon after. They had no clue what they missed.
