  • 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.

  • Steamboat Prow is the open ground in the middle and climbers go over the prow before they drop down to the ice to camp at Camp Sherman. Winthrop Glacier goes to the right and Emmons Glacier goes to the left on each side of Steamboat Prow.

  • Mt Rainier from 1st Burroughs Mountain. The trail on the right climbs to 2nd Burroughs Mountain. Emmons Glacier flows down on the left and Winthrop Glacier on the right. Winthrop Glacier is in front of Willis Wall. Inter Glacier is the small glacier in the middle. Little Tahoma is the peak to the left of Mt Rainier.

  • 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. The small glacier in the middle is Inter Glacier and mountain climbers go up it to Steamboat Prow before they drop down to Camp Sherman for the night before their climb.

  • 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.

  • Mt Rainier just up the trail toward Sourdough Ridge from Sunrise. First Burroughs Mountain is on the right. Burroughs Mountain and Sourdough Ridge are remenants of andesite lava flows between 420,000 and 500,000 years ago when Mt Rainier was just begining to grow.

  • Rocks from a landslide cover the bottom of Emmons Glacier.  The White River originates from the cave at the terminous of the glacier.  I am standing on the moraine from when the glacier extended down the valley.  The glacier is 200 feet thick and slowly receeding up the valley.  At one point, during the last glaciation, this valley was filled with a thousand foot thick glacier.

  • 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.

  • The Emmons Glacier flows down the east side of Mt Rainier and forms the headwaters of the White River.

  • The moss glowed in the moist air formed by the water tumbling across the rocks.  I liked how the creek was divided by the rock in the middle and how the water tumbled over the rocks.  The trail was dry and dusty so this short stretch was a nice alternative.

  • A cone from last year hangs below two new cones developing on the white-bark pine.  This tree seemed vigorous and growing well.  It is good to see as so many have been badly affected by pine rust.

  • Lichen growing on bark of silver fir.
