Little Tahoma Little Tahoma is a satellite peak of Mount Rainier, quite noticable from Seattle, Washington (60 miles or 95 kilometers away). Little Tahoma is a volcanic remnant: it was part of the larger structure of Mount Rainier, but parts eroded away, leaving Little Tahoma. The rock of Little Tahoma is quite unstable: in 1963, a large avalanche originating below Little Tahoma covered the lower Emmons Glacier with rock debris. Little Tahoma can most easily be accessed from Summerland, a park-like area in Mount Rainier National Park. If considered on its own, Little Tahoma would be the third-highest peak in Washington State. External links
