The Pacific Northwest is home to some amazing mountains ....mostly in the Cascades range.
Here's some shots of a few examples.

Can anyone name the mountains?
I'll give hints......

I have a jar of ash from the event this that caused this mountain to blow it's top in 1980.
See the steam coming out of the crater?

A popular beer (In the Pacific NW in the 80s) is named after this mountain.

This one has a Greek sister with the same name.

Two out of three....the last is not Mt. Shasta ;)

This is Mt. Shasta: (From one of Skunkworks' incredible submissions that actually inspired me to go mountain hunting) viewtopic.php?f=42&t=170166

Hey Chuck! I want to say Mt. Olympus!

I must say these three shots have blown my socks off! Having kept my ORBX libraries up to date I only recently noticed steam at Mt. Saint Helens :shock:

Thank you for your kind words, but I'm afraid my mountain shots pale in comparison!

Happy flying Chuck!

Ok then 3) Olympia

Sorry bout that. I can see Shasta from my back porch, and I summited it when I was around 14 or 15 with my school group (Lassen too...), so I jumped to a conclusion. I don't think all that well that time of day any way :)
