description: From the first moment of Mount Rainier's fiery origin, water began its assault--and its caress--sculpting the mass of rock. As glaciers, water plucks and gouges rock from the mountainside. As floods, it rapidly rearranges large quantities of material. As streams, it methodically tumbles and wears down rock. Then, while it nurtures life on the mountain's flanks, its quiet ponds reflect the beauty of its work. Mount Rainier National Park, located in southwestern Washington, established in 1899, preserves the greatest single-peak glacial system in the contiguous United States.
