The drive to Mt St. Helens takes you south passed Mt Rainier.  The weather was pretty crummy as I headed south so I didn’t get any views of the mountain as a drove.  However, the weather had improved markedly by the time I headed home and the sun angle had come around to illuminate my side of the mountain.  Consequently, I stopped a couple of times on my way back north to take some pictures.  I want to do some hiking on Mt Rainier at some point but this was as close as I have got – at least on the ground.
