I'm no expert, but wouldn't that peak in the back be Adams, not Rainier?

Nope, you can tell this is looking at Hood from the southeast. Adams is NE of Hood so would not be able to be seen in this one. Since the top is not chopped off of the volcano in the background, it's gotta be Rainier.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I didn't realize they were that close together. That looks like 20 miles seperating them, when in fact it is hundreds...

It's gotta be Adams. Those are the Goat Rocks with snow right behind it.

Wouldn't Adams be to the right of Hood?

It's obviously Adams. Rainier and Adams are easy to tell apart.

Let's clear up all the confusion:



Here's a wide satellite shot of the photo plus Rainier -





Here's Hood. Notice the runs on the southwest side of the mountain, and how the straight one in the middle of the three points SSW and points almost straight at the plane.

The mountain in the background is Adams, not Rainier. I see the White Salmon headwall on Adams' SW flank. If it were Rainier you would see Little Tahoma peak off to the right.
