List of Slides for Mt. Rainier NP

• Mt. Rainier is reflected in Eunice Lake.
• Sunset light illuminates the summit.
• Surface waters flow down and outward from the summit of the volcano, forming a radial drainage pattern around Mt. Rainier.
• Bow Canyon is a narrow part of Cowlitz Gorge, near Cowlitz Glacier.
• Glaciated surfaces show evidence of abrasion and plucking to form roches moutonnes.
• Nisqually Glacier flows down the southern side of the mountain.
• Emmons Glacier, the largest in the park, originates at the summit and descends to the White River.
• Columnar basalt forms as lava flows cool and contract.
• Here the polygonal ends of columns are visible in a basalt flow on a slope
• Much of the volcanic rock of Mt. Rainier is andesite - intermediate in composition. The darker blob is a xenolith (fragment of other rock incorporated into the lava).
• Climbers trail up the side of Mt. Rainier in the Sunrise area.
• This model shows the south side of the mountain.
• The Paradise flower fields add color to the majestic scene.
