Telephoto view from the Crystal Mountain ski area, looking west. Little Tahoma Peak is a satellite summit that is an erosional relic of a larger volcanic edifice. It's apparently very dangerous to climb because the rock is so broken up.

Mt. Rainier, Washington state, USA

From the Crystal Mountain ski area. Taken from the top of the ridge near the Summit House, where the gondola disembarks. Looking west. Mt. Rainer is a large subduction-related stratovolcano, part of the Cascade Range that extends from northern California (Lassen Peak) up into British Columbia (Mt. Garibaldi). Its height is 14,411 ft (4392 m), but it has a prominence of over 13,000 ft because the lowlands around it are near sea level. The prominent stream at the lower left is the White River.
