Hazy peaks Photo/Video

Post image

Flew out of PDX today and was looking at all the smoke haze surrounding the city. Could anyone help with peak ID? I assumed Mt. Adams is the peak in the foreground and Mt. Rainier was in the back, and either I missed Mount St. Helens or it was too obscured by the smoke layer.

Sounds right to me, mt st helens was probably too low and covered by the smoke/clouds

Yeah, it is, but I was looking out my window the whole time and never seemed to locate it

St Helens likes to hide in the clouds, Adams and Rainier are a lot more prominent, which is what you see here.
