Rainier, Sunrise - Milky Way over Mt. Rainier as seen from Burroughs Mountain

Mt. Rainier National Park, WA

The Milky Way over Mt. Rainier on a beautiful dark night. Little Tahoma is the small peak on the left, just below the core of the Milky Way.

Shot from Burroughs Mountain. The lights on the mountain are the headlamps of climbers ascending the Emmons-Winthrop route (and a couple on the DC).
