Climbing Mt Rainier
Since moving to Washington State as a child, there is one landmark that stands out above all others and that is Mt. Rainier. It is an icon on our license plates and can be seen from almost anywhere in western Washington on a clear day. Rainier is the highest prominence in the lower 48 states which means the height of a mountain or hill’s summit by the vertical distance between it and the lowest contour line encircling it.
