Mt. Rainier from Skyline Trail

One of the mind boggling things about the views from this trail is that even after driving thousands of feet up the mountain and hiking a trail with over 1,700 feet of elevation gain, one still finds that they are more than 7,000 feet from the top!

I believe the waterfall in this photo is coming off of the Wilson Glacier into the (mostly melted by September) Nisqually Glacier.
