Voted 10/10 | above the crater on the horizon? At first
glimpse, Rainier's summit crater has changed
very little since 1984.
The inner depths of the crater is a different story. I'm assuming the caverns
beneath the crater are much larger now.
Nice photo, Steph! | | Posted Dec 13, 2008 10:12 am |

Hasn't voted | I believe that is Mt. Adams, but that's only a guess due to the fact I was facing south.
I've heard of people actually going inside the caverns on Rainier. Have you explored the caverns at all? Wish I would have done that when I was up there...next time! | | Posted Dec 13, 2008 11:54 am |

Voted 10/10 | Nope, I studied the maps & drawings in the
"great indoors." Carolyn Driedger of the USGS/Cascades Volcano Observatory has an
outstanding book entitled "A Visitor's Guide to Mount Rainier Glaciers."(1986) | | Posted Dec 13, 2008 5:41 pm |
