When we got to the actual overlook, the sight was amazing. It was a crystal-clear day, and Rainier was visible from around 80 miles away*. Even more amazing, Mt Adams (125 mi) and Saint Helens (120 mi) were also visible (though much harder to see with my camera). * Source - http://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm

What a hike! Actually, how far did you go? Both laterally and vertically?

I wish I had gotten a picture where you might be able to see Mt Adams. I remember I took this one, then realized it was behind the tree, so I moved over a little and took another... which came out totally blurry.
