The Sourdough Mountains, also called Sourdough Ridge, is a mountain range on the northeast side of Mount Rainier in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, USA. The range forms an L-shape, starting at Mount Fremont, running east to Dege Peak, turning north to Slide Mountain.
The range is a popular hiking destination, due to the excellent view of Mount Rainier and its proximity to roads and the Sunrise Visitor Center.
Famous quotes containing the word mountains:
“Fogs and clouds which conceal the overshadowing mountains lend the breadth of the plains to mountain vales. Even the small-featured country acquires some grandeur in stormy weather when clouds are seen drifting between the beholder and the neighboring hills.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
