Look closely. You can just make out the white peaks of Mt Rainier in the center of the pic. From this angle you might think the surrounding mountains are just as tall, but let me assure you that is an illusion. Mt. Rainier is easily twice as tall as the surrounding mounts. This picture was taken from the Carbon River glacial wash down from Carbon Glacier. We did not make it to this glacier, the lowest in the North America, because we did not come prepared for the hike to get to the glacial foot.
