Description
Mt Rainier,
I had taken a trip up to the great Pacific Northwest recently. As I rounded the Olympic Peninsula smoke from a fire located in Canada was blowing down on the mountain and the surrounding area. This totally ruined any chance for me to be able to enjoy Olympic National Park as it was so smoky that visibility was down to maybe a couple of hundred feet.
So I decided to try my luck and make the couple of hour drive over to Mt Rainier. The sun was going down as I approached the park so I decided to find a campground to spend the night. When I woke it appeared that I was mostly out of the smoke.
It just wasn't meant to be though. As I drove up the mountain I could see that the smoke hadn't cleared. I pulled over along the roadway near the Naches Trace trail and captured this image. I actually liked the way the smoke formed a frame around the peak of this amazing mountain.
