A couple of years ago, while flying from Redding to Portland to Seattle, our pilot flew us right over Mt Shasta, St. Helens and Ranier. All three were equally impressive.

Sorry for the threadjack. I also really look forward to the notes Pelagius and was wondering if you had skipped town or were just procrastinating your lesson preparation like the rest of us usually do.

I have grown to love Mt. Rainier. It’s one my favorite things about living in Washington (that and the seafood). Annually we buy a yearly pass and get up there as much as we can during the summer and fall. My wife and I started taking our kids there when my daughter (oldest) was six months old – just threw her in one of those kids packs.

It gets crowded in the summers, but if you go early there are still places where you can be alone.
