The head of the North Puyallup River from Klapatchie Park in Mount Rainier National Park. A long days hike from the trailhead with 4000 feet of elevation gain carrying a 60+ pound pack and worth it. Klapatchie Park is on the Wonderland trail.  

I was driven by the changing weather back to the Enchanted Valley on the Quinault River from whence this image was captured. Really good days for photography on the Olympic Peninsula are at a premium and days in a tent waiting out inclement weather a...

Mount Rainier and the Kautz Glacier from Mildred Point, southerly from the summit. Rainier is seperated from the mountain by a deep canyoon carved by the glacier years ago. Jokulhlaups from the glacier have caused extensive washouts in recent years. 

Prusik Peak is a prominent peak in the Enchantment area of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness , Washinton State. At near 8000 feet at the pond the area looks as if the glacier just left yesterday. The peak is an obvious destination for many climbers.

A view of Tokaloo spire and Mount Rainier from the Wondeland trail on the west side ot the Mountiain.

This scene is in The Ennchantments , within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness of Washington State.The massive fine grained nearly white rock pictured here is at an altitude of nearly 8000 feet .  

Cowlitz Park is a delightfull plateau on the east flank of Mount Rainer. Large herds of elk graze here in the summer. Little Tahoma is the prominene to the right of Mount Rainier.

Willis Wall is the north face of Mt. Rainer. The Carbon Glacier begins at the base of Willis Walll. 

This is a view of Pinnacle Peak in the Tatoosh Range of Mt. Rainier Nation Park. It is a popular experience scramble for Mountaineer students and one I have led many times. 

Edith Creek flows all winter under an insulating 12 foot blanket of snow. This photo was taken in early spring when the snow cover over the waterfall collapsed.
