The shallow waters of Reflection Lake perform as advertised, mostly with the dark coniferous forest in front of Mt. Rainier. “Postcard” views of Mt. Rainier like this are surprisingly common on a fair day, from many vantages around the massive, glacier-capped volcano, but are no less beautiful and inspiring. We had awakened early to photograph (and more importantly, experience) dawn across Rainier’s eastern frontier, and this made a fine conclusion to a wondrous morning.
