First view of the iconic Mt. Rainier, from moving car. A little overexposed
Better view, Mt Rainier, again shot from moving car
And another...
I can't shoot him enough! Still in the car
Mountain ranges opposite to Mt Rainier
All preped up for sub-zero temperatures, bright sun and strong windchill!
All snowy!
Just white everywhere you look
Reaching for the clouds
People out to do snow-tubing
Mt. Rainier from Jackson Visitor Center, while waiting for our change to snow-shoe
Talking to clouds
Done with lunch, waiting for the ranger to call for us
Standing 14.400 ft high, only few ever dare conquer his summit! Someday I too want to reach the summit! ~~dreaming~~
Full view of Mt. Rainier from Jackson Visitor Center @ Paradise Point. Pretty good considering it was shot through the glass window!
Mt Rainier
And another view... from the glass window again
Mt ranges opposite to Mt Rainier, through the window
People looking soooo puny against the vast white carpet of snow
Sheetal, all so covered up, not even the slightest of the wind dare go in!
Putting the snowshoes on!
A mother and her 2 kids
Mountian ranges opposite to Mt Rainier
The ranger and the team
Buddies
Reflection in Sheetal's goggles
Nice house, used to be old Visitor's Center @ Paradise Point. Imagine living in such a house!
Couldn't click enough!
A yet another shot. I had tough time which one to choose and which not!
Cloud kissing the Mt Rainier, so beautiful!
W . O . W!
The Group
Sheetal-Ajoy... so made for each other :) (you guys should frame this photo!)
In Love... Self and Mt Rainier
Bright sun couldn't hide the lovely moon! (I applied a b&w filter to make the contrast more prominent)
Don't blame me, Rainier is soooooooooo gorgeous, nobody can click enough!
Look at it zoomed in
Don't know what to say
Zoom in and see the nature's perfect white finish on the mountains

Not fun to watch unless you zoom or see it in higher res
It was fun sliding down the snow
Arundhati seems to have had the MOST fun!
Ishita dared any guy who could do the sliding on stomach like her! Of course, no guy (who cares for his future), dared! :D
Getting up after being bombarded by shower of snow-balls on my way sliding down on buttocks
Nobody spared, every single one hit me with snowballs! :)
Sliding away
Power Puff Girls!
Ajoy-Sheetal sliding in tandem!
Does the expression look familiar? (hint: morning ritual! :-P )
Bye Bye Mt. Rainier... as seen last time for the trip from parking lot before driving away
