Scope and content
Eighteen members of the Mountaineers Club posed for a group portrait before a background of snow-capped trees in late December of 1922. The men and women were at Longmire, located in Mount Rainier National Park, and even then a popular tourist destination. 160 Mountaineers left Tacoma on December 28th for their annual midwinter climb up Mt. Rainier (called Mt. Tacoma locally) . They made the hike from Longmire Springs to Paradise Valley without incident. Club members intended to light radium flares on the Mountain on New Year's Eve.
