The safest, most accessible (easy hike from a road that is open for much of
the year) and thickest glacier in the lower 48 states is on Mt. Rainier,
less than 3 hours from downtown seattle.
Hmm... that's a good idea. Does Rainier have thick, unmoving ice on it? I used to live in Seattle and Tacoma, but I never actually spent any time on or near Rainier.
Can you get us some facts and figures on Rainier?
