  • A lenticular cloud caps the summit of Mount Rainier at sunrise in this view from Bonney Lake, Washington. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. Higher, cirrostratus turn red in the first light of day. Mount Rainier, the highest peak in Washington state and the tallest volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, has a summit elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters).

  • A giant stack of lenticular clouds forms near the summit of Mount Rainier in Washington state in the golden light of sunset. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. The moist air condenses and becomes a visible cloud as it rises. While lenticular clouds can hover directly over mountain peaks, they can form some distance away from the summit when the winds are strong. Mount Rainier is the tallest mountain in Washington state and the highest volcano in the Cascade Range.

  • A mammoth lenticular cloud nearly dwarfs Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain in Washington and the highest volcano in the Cascade Range. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. The moist air condenses and becomes a visible cloud as it rises. While lenticular clouds can hover directly over mountain peaks, they can form some distance away from the summit when the winds are strong.

  • A large lenticular cloud forms near Mount Rainier in Washington state. Lenticular clouds form near mountains. Moist air is forced up and over the mountain and it cools and condenses into a cloud as it rises. Strong winds shape the cloud, which can form several miles away from the mountain that disturbed the path of the air.

  • 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.
