Looking at Rainier across some alpine meadows.  It was so nice to see such greenery.

  • Wow, beautiful. So that's the S face? Looks more like the shot we saw from Mom's airplane ride.

  • Now we're looking generally at the south face. The big glacier is the Nisqually, which drains into the Nisqually River (which runs into that dam shown earlier).

  • Wasn't that the same big glacier visible in some of the airplane shots?

  • I think, if you look at this photo - http://www.pmjc.org/photos/display_image_detail.php?i=14773 - you can see the big rock outcrop visible on the right of the one here (I believe these are the Cathedral Rocks). But our main discussions from mom's aerial shots were looking from the N / NW / W / SW.
