Happy 121st Birthday, Mount Rainier National Park!

“To foresee the beauty of Mount Rainier one must know many things —rivers, tumbling from boulder to boulder…a tiny fawn nestling under a shrub… flower fields that stretch unending distances… glaciers grinding and tearing at the high mound of rock… All of these things are separate, but all are a part of the story of Mount Rainier.” -John Barnett, former park naturalist, 1978

On March 2, 1899, Mount Rainier National Park was established as the 5th national park. Since time immemorial, the timeless presence of the mountain has inspired people to explore, to recreate, to connect with their heritage, and to fight for the preservation of this iconic mountain. How does Mount Rainier inspire you?
