2013: 02 01 - Mt. Ranier

When we fly to or from Seattle, I always try to sit on the side of the airplane where we have a chance to see Mt. Ranier (center mountain).  You typically fly close enough to Mt. Ranier that it looks you could toss a ball from the end of the wing and hit the mountain.  I took this on our way home from Seattle, connecting in Denver.  It has to be a reallly clear day to be able to see the other mountains which it was today.  Mt. St. Helens is on the right.  You can always tell Mt. St. Helens because of the distinctive blown out north side of the mountain.  Rarely can you see Mt. Hood (on the left) all the way in Oregon.  A little bit later, we could see a fourth mountain which we think was Mt. Adams, also in Oregon.
