Mt. Rainier (pronounced ra-neer)...To the right is a topographic map of Mt. Rainier in Washington State. The highest peak of the Cascade Range, Mt. Rainier's peak is 14,411 ft. It really stands out because the surrounding mountains are below 5,000 ft. The picture below is the view of Mt. Rainier from Tacoma, WA.
I was stationed at McChord AFB in Tacoma, WA from 1994-97. We flew into the area at night and had no idea this would be the view we would be welcomed with in the morning. Being a Florida native, it is needless to say, this mountain is awe-inspiring.
