Great shot. Hard to believe that Rainier’s summit is over 7,000’ higher than where you are.

Ah, at the top of Green Valley on the way down Lucky Shot. I know this scene well.

Is this not taken from right outside summit house?

Great picture, but the image still does do justice to show how magnanimous the view is.

It's just getting to the top, or anywhere at Crystal, that's a nightmare

Pretty sure this is right off the gondola, isn’t it?

Absolutely beautiful view. I’m still pretty new to the area. Would you mind sharing which trail you used and what the conditions were like this time of year? Snowshoes and poles get the job done? That kind of thing.

You take the trail from the parking lot up to the ticket window, then you pay American dollars for a lift ticket. Hop on the gondola on a sunny day and this will be the first thing you see.

very nice! I went up on the gondola this past summer and did some hikes in the area - so beautiful!

Pictures don't really do it justice. When you're up there, it feels like you could just reach out and touch the top of Rainier. It's a grand illusion!

I don’t think so,that’s right at the edge. The summit house has a run between it and the edge, Lucky Shot.
