Mountain Memories: Pinnacle Peak Climb

Another popular guided activity during the 1920s-30s was climbing Pinnacle Peak in the Tatoosh Range. It took around six to eight hours round trip leaving from the Paradise Valley and cost $4 per person in 1920, including clothing rental. The Pinnacle Peak Trail continues to be a popular route to this day.

The Tatoosh Range, taken from the official Mt. Rainier website. I like to stop in occasionally and see the views I'm missing.

Five pictures were added to developingnaturegallery.com to begin the creation of the Mount Rainier folder. Kimberly used to live near this National Park and so, she will be adding a few pictures of the volcano, waterfalls, mountain peaks and wildlife images that she created inside the park here/there over the coming years.

If you're getting snow this weekend, stay safe.

Have a great weekend everyone!

After a great day of poking around the trails as we entered the park through the Stevens Canyon entrance- I got in 5 1/2 miles and Ben about 6 1/2/we checked into our room at the Paradise Inn, a National Park lodge, cracked open some bubbly, opened up some Gruyère and enjoyed happy hour with a view of the Tatoosh range. Cold mountain air with that awesome alpine smell of lichen and Douglas firs pouring in through the window. Are we in Switzerland or Washington? You be the judge.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2021, REFLECTION LAKES, PINNACLE PEAK, TATOOSH RANGE

[floralreality4eva]

Low Fade - by Ryan Dyar

Here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia about how the Tatoosh Range (pictured here) was named: “Tatoosh means "breast" in the Chinook Jargon,[2] in reference to the two large rock outcrops on the south face of Butter Peak.“ So this is basically the Boob Mountain Range.

While these mountains aren’t huge, and as a matter of fact are quite small, they are still wonderful. I think most folks don’t discriminate about how big or small they are… mountains of any size are pretty awesome to see. However, if you’re inclined to not be too interested in Tatooshes, I can always post a desert pic of a large sandstone monolith named Long Dong Silver (I’m 100% serious). I try to cater to everyone’s preferences. 

I’m as mature as I was when I was 13 years old. 

As always, thanks for scrolling far enough to see my dumb little picture. If you are interested in learning how I create my dumb little pictures, reading my dumb stories or seeing more dumb photography, you can head to www.ryandyar.com or check out the link in my profile.

“Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.” – Mary Schmich

As you pack your backpack and motor vehicle before heading out to the mountain, one thing to consider is sun protection.

Yes, it’s winter. The Pacific Northwest is known for its rainy, cloudy, foggy weather in the winter. That can be very true in the lowlands around the Puget Sound. But as you drive up into the mountains it can be a very different story.

Sometimes you drive up to Longmire and Paradise and you end up above the clouds. We can get a few winter inversions where it sets up sunnier up high then down near the Sound.

Paradise is also at a higher elevation, 5,420 feet above sea level. Your skin can be exposed to more solar radiation up here.

And one more thing, snow. Snow can be a great reflector of the sunshine.

So please, bring some sun protection. Sun screen, hats, sunglasses can be good options for protecting your eyes and skin.

What are some of your favorite sun protection options?

Is there something that you’ve found works great when you’ve spent a sunny day at Paradise?

Pinnacle Peak and The Castle (Mount Rainier National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view from a roadside pulloff just down the road from Narada Falls on Paradise Rd. Here I wanted to bring the image in closer to some of the peaks of the Tatoosh Range in the Mount Rainier Area. By focusing on the jagged peaks of The Castle and Pinnacle Peak, I felt it might bring a person seeing this image to a typical setting in Mount Rainier National Park. One could start nearby with the evergreen trees going up the hillside and then take in the jagged peaks and finally be drawn to the blue skies with white puffy clouds.
