Mount Rainier National Park Information
Mount Rainier National Park
from National Geographic
The first U.S. team to climb Everest trained here, cutting their teeth on Mount Rainier.
A huge volcanic dome covered with ice and snow, it rises to 14,410 feet (4,392 meters)
, the highest point in the Cascade Range. Around it are valleys, old-growth forests,
waterfalls, ice caves, meadows, and more than 25 glaciers. The dormant volcano is
often shrouded in clouds that dump enormous amounts of rain and snow on the peak every
year and hide it from the crowds that head to the park on weekends.
