After the storm had passed we decided to once again head to Rainier and try to climb it. This is a view of Rainier on a clear day just outside of Tacoma.

First day of our second attempt to climb Rainier. The weather is now clear and hopefully the snow has consolidated enough so avalanches won't be a problem.
Getting ready to leave the parking lot; Debbie needed one more Hannah hug

Mount Adams with a view of the snow slope we were concerned might be avalanche prone. Fortunately the snow had consolidated enough to make it safe.
Steep climb; have to catch your breath once in awhile
