Customer Reviews

Beautiful pictures - but not a guide book

This books has some fantastically beautiful pictures. It provide useful information of Mt. Rainier and how it looks like during different seasons and also it gives you an idea of where to go and take beautiful photos. Having said that, however, this is not a guidebook per se, hence, it does not provide you with information to get around Mt. Rainier.

Great gift for anyone who's hiked The Mountain

Those of us who have hiked or climbed Mt. Rainier know that the beauty of the experience doesn't always come out in our photos. O'Hara has captured that beauty in over a hundred shots we all wish we had taken.
