Scope and content
ca. 1943. Mount Rainier, Scenic view with small lake in foreground. Mount Rainier National Park, the nation's 5th national park, was established in 1899 and encompasses 235,625 acres. It includes the active volcano Mount Rainier, 14,410 feet, encased in 25 square miles of snow and ice. The mountain is surrounded by old growth forests and subalpine meadows dotted with wildflowers. For many years, Tacoma stubbornly insisted on calling our mountain Mount Tacoma, after the Indian name for the mountain.
