Mount Rainier, Washington state's highest peak at over 14,400', boasts some of the most impressive weather systems I've ever witnessed. On this particular evening, I was relaxing at Camp Schurman, on the northeast side of the mountain (elevation 9,500') when I saw storm clouds brewing in the distance.
I made a quick trip to the top of a little cliff near camp called Steamboat Prow and watched these stormy clouds roll in at sunset. The ridge in the image is Curtis Ridge and the Winthrop Glacier is visible in the foreground.
