The Mountain The mountain dominates the land. A lofty presence, cold and grand, With gleaming ice walls, waterfalls, Rushing rivers and canyon walls. Her timbered foothills make a home For varied wildlife that can roam Through alpine meadows, woods and streams, Where life seems good for them, it seems. The trails that lead you upward to The jagged ridges, hold a view That keeps you captive, when you see Surrounding mountains majesty! The peaks so high, a giant wall And yet this mountain tops them all. If you are brave enough to go Much higher, where the glaciers grow, The winds are fierce and clouds appear Created by high atmosphere, To cap the summit, like a shroud. Still, it rises, large and proud And even when we've gone away, The images are there to stay, Of rocky ledges, fields of snow And timbered slopes that lie below! I feel that life will never be Quite the same again, for me, Now that I've stood upon the sod That grew this mountain up to God! Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Marge: Thanks so much for your comments. It was a wonderful experience to spend time on Mt. Rainier. We went to the 5,400 ft. level in the car and then hiked a brief way up the trail to get above the tree line. The weather was great and 31 degrees! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
