That brilliant red fall foliage immediately caught my eye. While hiking the Alta Vista Trail at Mount Rainier, I spotted this one section of the valley where the fall colors were especially bright. The sun had broken through the clouds and lit up the red foliage, making it almost glow. It was beautiful to watch! What a phenomenal view with Mount Rainier in the background!🍁🏔️ #MountRainier #FallColors #LandscapePhotography #PacificNorthwest #NaturePhotography

Morning light on Mount Rainier While photographing Mount Rainier last week, I noticed the first morning light beginning to reach the upper mountain above the dark forest below. I liked the contrast between the bright snow and rock on Rainier and the layers of trees beneath it. The forest really helps show just how massive the mountain is from this viewpoint. One of those scenes that made me stop and take a closer look. 📷 #MountRainier #MountRainierNationalPark #PNWPhotography #LandscapePhotography #PacificNorthwest #WashingtonState #MountainPhotography

Reflection Lake, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington After spending the night photographing the stars at Mount Rainier, I got up early for sunrise at Reflection Lakes. The water was nearly still, with a thin layer of mist drifting across the lake. The first sunlight was beginning to reach the trees and foreground grasses. It was a quiet and peaceful way to finish the photoshoot. #MountRainier #ReflectionLakes #MountRainierNationalPark #PacificNorthwest #LandscapePhotography #MountainPhotography #WashingtonState

There's a *distinct* lack of #marmotodon in my timeline here. They were all over the place at Mount Rainier today, as usual. #photography #mountrainier #pnw

Sunrise alpenglow on Mount Rainier reflected in Tipsoo Lake I arrived early yesterday morning, hoping for a clear view of Mount Rainier while the lake was still calm. I was not disappointed. Seeing the alpenglow on Mount Rainier reflected in the lake was absolutely beautiful. I felt peaceful, excited, and incredibly lucky to witness it. What catches your eye first, Rainier or the reflection? #MountRainier #PNWPhotography

Mount Rainier under a sky full of stars I was hoping for a clear night, but a few clouds drifted through and made everything feel even more immense. Stars above, Rainier below… the whole night felt vast and peaceful in a way that’s hard to put into words. Have you ever had a night where the clouds actually improved the scene? #MountRainier #PNWPhotography

A quiet trail leading down to Shadow Lake. I was hiking the Wonderland Trail when I came across this view of the deep green water, surrounding evergreens, and a lone hiker near the shoreline. The whole scene felt calm and tucked away from the busier parts of Mount Rainier. What’s your favorite trail to hike? #MountRainier #PNWPhotography

Mount Rainier National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

Ascending to 14,410 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier stands as an icon in the Washington landscape. An active volcano, Mount Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S.A., spawning five major rivers. Subalpine wildflower meadows ring the icy volcano while ancient forest cloaks Mount Rainier’s lower slopes. Wildlife abounds in the park’s ecosystems. A lifetime of discovery awaits.
