Mt. Rainier Is Beautiful Today

Here's how it looked a little after noon.

Mt. Rainier, February 11, 2009

It may be even prettier around sunset, though I won't promise that you will even be able to see the mountain then.  Here's the main Paradise webcam, if you want to see for yourself.  You can find three more webcams at the park site.  Two of the cameras show a parking lot and an approach road, but the Tatoosh camera will have good views when the light is right.

(So why am I not up there making cross-country ski tracks, rather than down here telling you about the snow?  Because yesterday I didn't think today would be this nice, and because I generally prefer to go up to Paradise on weekends, when the visitor's center is open.)

1. Aaaaaah...as pure as with wind-driven snow!
What a welcome relief after reading 'not-so-pure' political comments. We DO live in 'paradise'. :)

2. Looks like would have been a great day for a winter climb to Camp Muir and ski down.....

3. Looks like pristine land prime for redevelopment and the webcam is clearly a waste of my taxpayer money. Want out of this economic crisis, close all National Parks and sell off the land for development.

4. Look at all that snow. Puget Power needs to raise rates again because of too much snow.

5. I think I see a unicorn right near the top. Can it be? Maybe there are some faries sprinkling bits of stimulus dust too.
