Making Weather

Rainier doesn't just sit beneath the sky — it makes its own weather.

Stacked lenticular clouds hover beside the summit like floating saucers, while a heavy ceiling of dark cloud rolls overhead and soft morning mist settles into the valleys below. In the foreground, the first light catches the leaves of the treetops, glowing against the deep green of the forest.

Making Weather captures one of the mountain's rarest and most striking moods — the kind of sky locals stop their cars to look at. This original Pacific Northwest photograph brings drama and quiet wonder to a living room, office, cabin, or anywhere the mountain feels like home.

The mountain is always telling a story. You just have to look up.
