Mount Rainier National Park, USA: July 27 --> July 31/09
In this album you'll find a collection of the photos that I took at Mount Rainier National Park from our visit between July 27 & July 31/2009. Mount Rainier National Park is located in Washington State, in the northwest of the USA. This park was established in 1899 and has a size of about 235,625 acres (97% is designated Wilderness) and this includes Mount Rainier (14,410ft/4,392m). Mount Rainier is an active volcano encased in over 35 square miles of snow and ice. The park contains outstanding examples of old growth forests and subalpine meadows.
Whether hiking on its flanks, climbing its summit, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing on its slopes, camping along its glacier-fed rivers, photographing wildflower displays in subalpine meadows, or just admiring the view, nearly two million people go here to enjoy the grandeur and beauty of Mount Rainier each year. Enjoy!
