Mount Rainier is so tall that the morning sun casts a shadow through the clouds

Rainier is the most dramatic, but all of the big volcanoes in the PNW have similar effects. I've camped on the west slow of Mt Hood and watched a shadow life this appear and then slowly dissipate as the sun creeps over the mountain.

Waking up and drinking some coffee as the sun rises in a place like that is truly magical.
