Scenic flight around Mt. Rainier Taken on August 4 2007. The video was shot from the Cessna 182 at a cruise altitude of 12,000 Feet MSL. The air in the Pacific Northwest was unusually calm and stable without the normal turbulance, up drafts, down drafts and mountain wave effect that are associated with these Cascade giants. The approach is from the south with a circle around the east, north and west flank of Mt. Rainier. The final pass is made across the northern flank above Winthrop and Emmons Glaciers, crossing the ridgeline between the 11,138 foot Little Tahoma Peak and the east flank of 14,411 foot Mt. rainier at 300 feet agl.

  • what song is this? haha

  • Spectacular video!

  • That's the best up close view I've seen of the mountain. I live in Olympia, Washington and never really get to see it that close. Awesome!

  • Great,

    The best teacher and awesome videos, Congrats man!

  • Very nice. The mountains I usually fly over are covered in cacti.

  • At 3:55 on the left is the Emmons Glacier route and on the right is Liberty Ridge. I summited last year on June 26. By August a lot of snow has melted revealing a lot of cravasses and the true shape of the glaciers. Awsome flight.

    Were you out of Troutdale?
