extreme carbon
Mount Rainier, from the north. At left is Little Tahoma Peak, a remnant of an earlier summit, before volcanic activity formed the present peak about 500,000 years ago. On the horizon at right is Mount St. Helens. In the gap between Willis Wall (center-left) and Ptarmigan Ridge (center-right) is Carbon Glacier, the longest, thickest, and most voluminous glacier in the United States outside Alaska. As the glacier melts, it forms the Carbon River, seen at lower right, which eventually drains into Puget Sound. -

Louise Lake, Mount Rainier National Park
Mount Rainier's summit is off to the left, and was obscured by cloud for most of this day. The red flowers in the foreground are Western Columbine (Aquilegia formosa). Photo was taken from the edge of Stevens Canyon Road. Probably was named for Christine Louise Van Trump (1880-1907), daughter of Rainier explorer Philemon Van Trump. -
