Google Maps: Mt. Rainier

Below is another amazing view from Google Maps(satellite view). This one is of Mt. Rainier, which at 14,411 ft (4,392 m), is the highest point in Washington state. I posted this particular view because I will be climbing this mountain this summer. My destination will be the little circle in the middle, a.k.a, the crater on the summit.
