I took a long ride around Mt. Rainier yesterday. After I pieced together this picture, I think I like the one below of Mt. St. Helens better. We were a little further away than the last visitors station and there is a nice contrast between the foliage and the gray of the wasteland. The Rainier picture was taken on either route 7 or 161. Here, distance doesn't work so well. I had to get this of Rainier because the previous day we were nearly fruitless in this quest. If there were more variation of terrain then I think it would be more impressive. I wonder when this one is going to go up? I want to be more than a state away. Yellowstone might just go too. Another continent would be advisable then.
