Approaching Mount Rainier Photo

A scenic picture taken of Mount Rainier while heading west on the road through Mount Rainier National Park approaching the top at Paradise. This picture was taken in the summertime hence not very much snow on the mountain, but Mt. Rainier looks huge compared to the road going towardds it. Mount Rainier National Park lies in the Cascade chain of mountains 68 miles south-southeast of Seattle and 95 miles north-northeast of Portland, Oregon. The park is open year round, but visitation to most regions is limited to late June to early October, depending on snowfall.
