Stopped about an hour North of Portland at the visitor center. We could see the mountain from the 60 miles distance but it was a bright hazy sky and pictures from the phone did not turn out. Today we saw Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Rainier. They all dwarf everything else around them which is quite different from the Rockies. Reminded me of Denali in Alaska.
Life Lesson: Mountains become harder to view the closer one get. Distance offers perspective and opportunity to view the whole mountain. However to get close is to understand.
