Mt. Rainier in the state of Washington is 14, 411 ft. high.
- The base of the volcano occupies more than 100 square miles.
- It is the 5th highest mountain in the lower 48 states (only 83 feet lower than California’s Whitney!).
- It’s massive ice flows and violent winds are so similar to the biggest mountains that it is considered a training ground for McKinley and Everest itself.
- Avalanches from the mountain have been known to travel 60 miles

Great choice for this week’s theme. I’m not sure I would care to live close to a volcano though! Happy WW
Fantastic choice for the theme. I am with Jams 🙂
Love to see the volcano but from a safe distance!
Happy PH and happy weekend!
Right take on the theme. Mine’s a little far off. 🙂 Have a wonderful Saturday!
Great post for today’s theme! Surely the high places there! Happy weekend and photo hunting! TC!
Great choice for the theme and a beautiful photo 🙂
Beautiful photos.
Happy Weekend!
Mountains always leave me wide mouth 🙂 They gorgeous, magnificent and of course high. Nice shot Ellen!
excellent photo for the theme, nice
Love that mountain!
Is the volcano active or dormant? It’s scary to live near a active volcano.
great choice for the theme. i love the snow-covered mountain. happy hunting.
High mountain… Brzzz… it’s real cold there. Maybe you did not notice it, you have lots of high flying planes there too 😛
If you have the time, do check out my another interpretation at http://www.crizlai.com/ Thanks!
Oh, those are wonderful pictures! I thought of using one from a plane window, but none of mine are that good — or of a subject that high!!
Mt. Rainier is amazing I remember seeing that on my drive down to California…..great photo….
oh yeah you got good ones
Perfect opportunity for a great shot. That is wonderful work.
great photo of my favorite mountain, my namesake. he he.
High mountains. I love love to see a volcano… great shots. happy weekend
Oh great shots of the mountain.
Happy Weekend.
I tend to say “No , Thank You” as often as possible, especially when it comes to living near a volcano! Yipes.
Absolutely Beautiful. I’ve been to Mt. Ranier. It amazed me how it could be so warm while hiking up a short distance to the snow.
Happy Photo Hunt! Mine’s up too.
great pictures!
Perfect choice for the High theme! Great pics…I’d love to see Mt. Ranier in person 🙂
Have a great weekend!
There are also some high thin clouds in the first shot. 🙂
My goodness what a stunning view.
Great shots but I’m weary of the volcano.
Great shots! Happy Weekend!
Great photos and interesting the way you have juxtaposed the landed aeroplanes – which can be high – with the really high mountain.
Nice choice for the theme. Clever take on “high!”
That’s big and powerful, as well as high. Thanks for all the information – it’s fascinating.
Great choice for this week’s theme.
Beautiful shots. I don’t think I’d be able to sleep too well, though, if I lived anywhere near that volcano. Have a great weekend!
The Alaska Airlines planes make me sentimental. I lived in Seattle for a year and travelled to Alaska. That is such a unique logo. Great picture of Mount Rainier.
Cool photo and beautiful mountain. I love the first photo across the plane’s wings. Have a blessed weekend.
“It’s massive ice flows and violent winds are so similar to the biggest mountains that it is considered a training ground for McKinley and Everest itself.” Really? I didn’t know that.
We’ve hiked at Paradise and other parts of the mountain many times. Nice to meet you neighbor!
Come visit me…
