Mount Rainier, an icon of the Pacific Northwest, is surrounded by a dramatic landscape of volcanic ridges and glacier-carved valleys. Look closer, and this familiar landscape contains the origin story of this area. It has been covered in swamps and ancient seas, flowing lava, explosive ash, and thick sheets of ice. Mountains rose and eroded away. This #EarthScienceWeek, explore the geologic history of Mount Rainier! NPS Video. Available with audio description at https://go.nps.gov/1pcf0e. ~kl |

Caught a wild sunset last night at Mount Rainier 😳 Mount Rainier is one of the most beautiful mountains in North America. Did you know that it has 26 named glaciers on it? Pretty wild if you ask me 🤯 This is easily one of the best places to visit in the Pacific Northwest, without a doubt. A must-see. #pnw #pacificnorthwest #summer #sunrise #cinematic #washingtonstate #hiking | Ryan Resatka
