MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK was established by act of Congress
approved March 2, 1899. (80 Stat., 998.) It is about 18 miles square and has
an area of 208,000 acres.

Mount Rainier 1s the third loftiest mountain in the United States exelusive
of Alaska. Its summit is approximately the center of the park. ‘The altitude
of the summit is 14,408 feet, only 88 feet lower than Mount Whitney in Cali-
fornia, and 12 feet lower than Mount Elbert in Colorado. Another interesting —
fact about the height of Mount Rainier is that it rises nearly 10,000 feet above
its immediate base. It is supposed that the mountain was at one time 16,000 ‘
feet in height, but a-great voleanie eruption tore away nearly 2,000 feet, leay-
ing a great crater that is now filled with ice and snow. It is interesting to
note. however, that steam is still emitted from jets in the ice in the crater.

In the sides of the mountain there are 28 great glaciers. varying in thickness
from 50 to 500 feet. ‘This great glacial system is the finest in the United States
and is not surpassed by any of the glaciers of the Alps.

Around the lower portion of the great mountain, between its glaciers, are
beautiful parks carpeted with wild flowers throughout the summer, the most

vessible being Paradise Valley and Yakima Park. From these points
visitors may secure guides for the ascent of the mountains.

The trail system of the park is extensive and offers many interesting and
safe side trips, including a trip entirely around the mountain. Ask Park
Rangers about them, and get trail guide pampblets,

‘The motorist will find comfortable hotels at Longmire Springs and Paradise
Valley. Camps are located at both of these points, and also at Yakima Park.
Housekeeping cabins are available at Paradise Valley, Longmire, Yakima
Park, and Ohanapecosh
