Educational Travelogue:
Washington’s Majestic Mountains
Friday, October 8th at 1:30 pm
Join veteran traveler Ed Korver on an expedition to three of the well-known Washington mountains: Mount Rainier, Mount Shuksan, and Mount Adams. The extraordinary photographic voyage begins on Friday, October 8th at 1:30 pm.
Experience the wonder of Mount Rainier, easily the most recognizable feature on the Seattle horizon. Marvel at the fields of wild flowers and breathtaking glacier vistas that Ed captured on film. In addition to being the tallest peak in Washington, Rainier also has the largest glaciers in the US south of Alaska. Thousands of hikers attempt the climb to the summit each year.
Travel on with Ed to Mount Shuksan. This majestic mountain peak is one of the most photographed mountains in the Cascade Range. It’s also home to Sulphide Creek Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in North America, and Picture Lake, a favorite destination for photographers and hikers alike!
Finally, finish Ed’s tour with a trip to Mount Adams. Unlike its neighbors, Mount Adams is a dormant volcano. Like its neighbors, the mountain’s wilderness area is home to dozens of hiking trails that guide visitors across its western slope.
Ed, a graphic arts teacher at Beaverton High School, has been shooting photography for over 42 years. Invite your friends and family to this magical adventure on Friday, October 8th, at 1:30 pm!
