On the way home from Washington, they most amazing this happened. They sky was clear and from my window in the airplane I could see Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Hood.
This is amazing because:
- You can never see out the airplane because of the clouds. Seriously it was only sunny one day I was home and it was the first week in July.
- You usually fly so close to Mt. Hood that you can’t see it.
- You usually fly in between these mountains and so you can’t see all four at the same time and out the same window.
- I had no one in my row. I usually don’t sit by the window because of my long legs and claustrophobia. If it had been a full flight then I wouldn’t have caught this splendor!
- I broke the rules and turned on my “electronic device” aka my iPhone before I got the okay from the captain. I’m sure glad the flight attendants didn’t catch me, though I was trying my hardest not to be too noticeable.
From left to right you have – Mt. St. Helens (do you see it is stumpy?), Mt. Rainier (it is actually quite large, but so far away that it looks small), and Mt. Adams (it is the smallest, but closest to the airplane at this point so it looks bigger, but it isn’t).
And this is Mt. Hood. It is huge and quite the skiing destination for those in the Northwest.
Beautiful! And I’m glad I got to see it – it was a first, and probably a last for me.
