About this postcard

A snow-streaked volcanic cone rises above a dark conifer forest and is reflected in the still water of Mirror Lake, with a small boat visible near the far shore. The caption identifies the peak as Mt. Adams at 12,307 feet, the second highest summit in the Cascade Range. Mount Adams is a stratovolcano in southwestern Washington, named for President John Adams, and lies within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest; the view from Mirror Lake is one of its classic prospects.
