Little Tahoma

Little Tahoma is a satellite peak of Rainier, the pointy thing next to the main summit. I think it looks like a castle made of mahogany. Little T is actually the remnants of what used to be an even bigger volcano; it’s hard to imagine another a couple thousand feet on top of what Rainier is currently.

Notes

  • This was probably ~16 miles and ~7300 feet of vertical gain in just over 10 hours.
