We are based in Graham, Washington, approximately 25 miles west of the summit of Mt. Rainier!  Here are some pictures of the view from the Forty Below, Ltd office: 

 
These views face east from our office window, (non telephoto) and you see the Tahoma Glacier in the middle right, Puyallup and Mowich glaciers in the center/ left.  Liberty Cap on the top left and Point Success on the top right, Columbia Crest in the center/ summit.  We may have a lot of rain in the Pacific Northwest, and we are thankful for it, so that we can have these beautiful glaciers to play on!

One of the many intense sunrises we get...quite a show!

Harmon Brewery and Pub in Tacoma WA.  On the way to the mountain from Sea-Tac airport.  This is a great place to stop on your way and fuel yourself up with some great food and brew!  The theme is "outdoor recreation and skiing" with lots of antique outdoor equipment as part of the decor.  They make delicious fresh tasting beer, winning numerous national awards, that is also served in the Longmire and Paradise Inn.  Check out their new Mt.
