I've been scanning some old photos and storing them on my computer. It's hard to identify some of them when they aren't labeled or found in an album with others that are easy to date or associate with known locations.
Anybody recognize this skyline? I know my grandpa frequented the Mt. Rainier area.

Any rough idea on when the picture was taken?

Is this in case the mountains have changed appearance?

No. There is a hat that someone left on the rock in the picture, and I'm thinking it might be mine. That was back when polar bears wore hats.
Actually I my line of thought was certain roads were built at certain times and that might give a clue as to what areas were accessable.

This picture was taken in the Monte Cristo area. The man in the picture is standing on a high point (elev. 5,334) that is located east of the trail between poodle dog pass and twin lakes. The mountain behind him is Columbia Peak and the snow just behind the shoulders of the man is the 76 Glacier.

Welcome aboard! Nice job of identifying the peak. Green Becky would seem to confirm your pick.

Thanks for such an accurate description nb! A post like yours is why I love this website. I'll have to study my Topo and try to pinpoint that location. I'd love to set foot there some day myself.
That was another favorite area of my granddads. Earlier this year I posted a picture of Goat Lake from a postcard he sent to his future bride about a backpack trip he wanted to take from Monte Cristo to Index. This picture could have been from that trip.
PB, the year would have been 1926 if I remember the postcard right. Stylish hat and threads aren't they?

Thanks Jim & Timber Cruiser for the kind words. I have been enriched many times by your posts on this site and feel the need to contribute. Anyways back to the subject. I thought you might like to see what point 5,334 looks like from the summit of Columbia Peak. This shot was taken 8.28.03. Here's the link: http://community.webshots.com/photo/65311527/228281830doDyOH

Heres a shot from the south ridge of Silvertip Peak, looking towards Columbia Peak, with the old photo location marked with the red dot.
