Flightseeing 
| | Got a nice view of Mt. Hood on the way from PDX to SLC yesterday afternoon: |
| | I'm guessing we were 50 miles southeast of Mt. Hood when I took the shot below of Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier. The two are about 60 miles apart, and about 150 miles from the plane. |
| | Also got this picture of the fire above Farmington, north of Salt Lake City, as we approached the airport: |
| | We were delayed quite awhile in SLC. Didn't get home until after midnight. |
| | The Sun's just coming up and starting to burn off the fog here in Santa Barbara. Time to make some coffee and start the weekend. It's good to be back. |

I watched all four peaks — St. Helens, Hood, Adams and Rainier — from shortly after the plane departed, sitting on the left (North) side of the plane with FAA sectional maps (of the Seattle and Klamath Falls area, which together cover the whole region).
Indeed, the picture is of Adams and Rainier. At the point it was taken, we were well East of Hood, and St. Helens was in the distance behind Hood, off to the left of the frame. I do have a picture of all four, but it's not an attractive one. :-)
Here's a map that roughly helps place the peaks.
