The Field Atlas
0/363Volcanic chapter · 46.85° N · 121.76° W
An ice-clad stratovolcano carrying more glacial ice than any peak in the lower 48. Subalpine meadows ring the mountain in July.
Paradise and Sunrise are the two classic meadow benches. Lupine and avalanche lily come on after snowmelt. The mountain makes its own cloud most days; a clear Rainier is a gift.
