I was absolutely blown away when I got home and saw how well this picture I took while hiking at Mt Rainier Paradise Park turned out.
This is the best picture I've ever taken. It seems everything was perfect. Mt Rainier is stunning.
(This was taken by me with an iPhone 4S. I was amazed!)
I actually found the exact spot I took the picture on Google 3D camera. Click that link. It is so cool that google now has off road cameras and you can even hike around Mt Rainier. You can click in a direction and move just like the road maps.
Then click here to see a 360 from the top.
Here are some FAQ's about Mount Rainier:
- Located in Washington State, USA
- The official height is 14,410 ft above sea level.
- In 2015 - 10,025 people tried to climb Mount Rainier - 4,888 reached the summit.
- Mount Rainier is considered an 'episodically active' volcano, which means it will erupt again some time.
- Mount Rainier last erupted about 1,000 years ago.

I live in the Pacific North West and have the great privilege to look up in the blue sky to see this majestic mountain called "Rainer". It never fails to enrich my senses when I see it, especially when I get closer views at it, such as the ones that you've provided in these photos, here.

Awesome picture @mikehere! I went to Seattle for my honeymoon and every day was overcast...even when we went up the space needle. So needless to say, we never got to see Rainier. Haha

Did as suggested. It's amazing. I took some pana shots and was wondering how to get the "feel" from the shots I made.
