Current Mount Rainier Weather & Pictures

The current weather on Mt. Rainier has allowed for many successful summits this past month. Although 'the mountain' received a minimal amount of snow during the winter months, spring snowfalls and cold upper mountain temperatures have created great climbing conditions.
Below are photos taken on June 29th from the MTTA (Mount Tahoma Trails Association) High Hut. High Hut is located at 4,760 feet and these images show Mt. Rainier as well as a zoomed-in photo of the upper slopes of the Muir Snowfield.
