Mount Rainier, aka Mount Tacoma, as seen from the US 12 pass on Coal Creek Mountain, more than 15 miles away. I call it "Tacoma-San."

Looking roughly south, this small piece of Diablo Lake in North Cascades National Park is green because of glacier-ground rock particles suspended in the water, much like rivers in the Canadian Rockies.

Rogers Pass, Glacier National Park, British Columbia, Canada

Three days after rainy Yoho National Park, Glacier National Park (Canada) was just as rainy. I basically just drove through on the Trans-Canadian Highway through Rogers Pass. Again, pretty but not photogenic.

One cool thing was that the highway is roofed in places to protect drivers from avalanches!

BTW, I technically went through Mount Revelstoke National Park after this, but as I could see even less – nothing but the road in front of me, really – I didn't take photos and don't even count it as a visit.
