While flying around this morning in the very clear air, a large snow capped mountain could be seen far to the north of us. We discussed what mountain it could be, but couldn't tell for sure. I took this picture, and after fiddling with it in Lightroom for awhile, this is the best I could see it. But what mountain is it?
Google images has this picture of Mount Lassen, a volcanic peak that is basically the southernmost of the Cascade Range, as seen from a similar if slightly closer vantage point. It last erupted in 1915, a blink of an eye in geologic time.
Looks about the same, so I'd say it is in fact Lassen. Given our position when we saw it, it would have been about 180 miles away.
