Mount Rainier, Fiery Winter Sunrise, Panorama

A fiery winter sunrise colors the sky surrounding Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain in Washington state. At right, Mount Rainier, with a summit elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), casts its own shadow on the sky, a phenomenon that occurs when the sky is covered by mid-altitude clouds around the time of the winter solstice. At left, smaller peaks do the same, resulting in bands of light known as crepuscular rays.
