  • Looking south along Burroughs Mountain #3. The big valley beyond the tundra is White River Valley that Emmons Glacier goes into. I did not walk out where that guy is standing. It looked too narrow for me. The rocks ar Andesite Lava. Burrows Mountain is over a 1,000 foot thick flow of andesite lava from an eruption a long time ago.

  • Mt Rainier from 2nd Burroughs Mountain before the lenticular cloud formed. Emmons glacier flows down to the left and Wintrop Glacier flows down to the righ in front of Willis Wall.

  • Inter Glacier. Mountaineers hike up through Inter Glacier to go over the top of Steamboat Prow and drop down to Camp Sherman for the night before the acsent to the summit. The ranger cabin sits on the backside of Steamboat Prow and most mountaineers seem to camp on the glacier snow behind the hill. Emmons and Winthrop glaciers split at Steamboat Prow with Emmons on the left and Winthrop on the right.

  • A lenticular cloud forms over the top of Mt Rainier. A landslide came down part of Willis Wall while I was watching. I heard the crack and saw dust rise as the debrey crashed down to the glacier below.
