Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
Eroded away from a much larger Rainier volcano, this peak can be a fairly uncrowded moderately technical climb within Rainer Nat Park. Great views of the classic Rainer routes may be had from the summit. Note the $30 per head (ouch!) climber fee the NPS now charges for Lil' Tahoma, as well as for it's larger neighbor. Check the NPS web site for current permit requirements.
