Flying from Eugene, OR to Denver, we climbed out of the cloud cover, climbing to 33,000 feet. My view out the window was to the north, and as we were passing over the Cascade Mountains it was interesting to see how those mountains block the moisture, which is why eastern Oregon is a desert. Of course there is probably just about the same view out the window to the south where several high mountains would be above the clouds.
I think, and this is just a guess, a logical SWAG, but the first kind of in the cloud cover might be one of the Three Sisters, the next mountain should be Mt. Jefferson, 10,495 feet. Then the third would be Mt. Hood, 11,240 feet. Next up the line would be Mt. Saint Helens, which is only 9,000 feet now, and should be under the clouds. Next would be Mt Adams at 12,277 feet, and finally way up in the haze in the center of the picture should be Mt. Rainier, 14,411 feet. All are stratovalcanos, what ever that means, but it's easy to see I live in the "Ring of Fire."
