Just how crazy it is to look out of your window and see Mount Rainier. No, I don't mean Mount Baker (3,286m / 10,781ft), which is only 100 kilometers away and an ever-present backdrop for Metro Vancouver.



I really mean bloody Mount Rainier which is behind Seattle, some 286 kilometers away (that's 177 miles)!

Mount Rainier is actually so far away that due to Earth's curvature only the very tip of this giant (4,392m / 14,411ft) can be seen this far.

Yeah, I really love our new apartment's crazy view.
