Hasn't voted | Nice photo of the Pendleton area, but you
can't see Mt. Rainier from Pendleton.
This can only be Mount Adams. | | Posted Mar 22, 2009 2:40 pm |
| Iron Hiker | It CAN be Rainier..... | | 
Voted 10/10 | According to my research, Rainier is 175 miles from the top of a hill on I-84 east of Pendleton. www.heywhatsthat.com clearly shows in its visibility cloak that Rainier is indeed visible from that location. You can't see Rainier itself from the actual town, however (in a valley)..... | | Posted Mar 28, 2009 3:03 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Agreed, you can see adams, hood and rainier from the blue mountains when conditions are right. I've seen all 3 from Indian Rock near Austin Junction, which I know is further away than this pendleton shot is. | | Posted Mar 28, 2009 11:51 pm |
| Iron Hiker | Rainier it is | |
Voted 10/10 | Just checked Google Earth's 3D, and I pretty much can conclusively say it's Rainier. Point Success and Liberty Cap are clearly visible at both ends, and Adams doesn't have anything like Liberty Cap, a "little hump" at the right end of the summit area. Rainier is also a bit steeper than Adams, and that shows up well in this photo.... | | Posted Mar 31, 2009 9:16 pm |

Hasn't voted | I can't agree with your arguments because Adams does look like this from the east if my memory serves. It does indeed have a central hump. The Adams equivalent of Point Success is called "Pikers Peak". I can't look now, but I believe the north ridge has a hump at the top too, much like Liberty Cap. If anything, it seems to me that Rainier should be steeper than this as well. So I can't rule out either one without knowing the angle. Interesting... | | Posted Apr 23, 2009 12:35 pm |

Hasn't voted | After further review, I do agree that this is Rainier. There is no point at the top of the Adams north ridge, and indeed this does look steeper than Adams. | | Posted Apr 27, 2009 9:13 pm |
