Glaciers form when snow accumulates over many years and eventually compacts into ice. The weight of the ice causes the glacier to slowly flow down a mountain, cracking along the way to form crevasses. Mount Rainier’s 25 glaciers makes it the most glaciated mountain in the lower 48 states. The 25 glaciers have a combined area of 35 square miles.

Cottonwood trees in the Pacific Northwest often shed their foliage in the fall without turning color.

The Big Leaf Maple (Acer Macrophyllum) is a deciduous tree that commonly forms the green understory in the mixed conifer forests of the Pacific Northwest. During the spring and summer, the maples use sunlight and chlorophyll to create food necessary for the tree’s growth. In late summer and early fall, the big leaf maple produces seeds which are a source of food for many animals. Later in the fall, as the days get shorter and colder, the naturally green chlorophyll in the leaves breaks down and they stop producing food. Other pigments are now visible, causing the leaves to take on beautiful orange and yellow colors. These colors can vary from year to year depending on weather conditions. For instance, when autumn is warm and rainy, the leaves are less colorful. This scene of a white farm house and colorful big leaf maple was photographed in Edgewood, Washington State, USA.
