Department of Interior, Office of National Parks Buildings Reservations, The Master Plan, Mount Rainier National Park 1933. (master Plans) Overleaf: Proposed Hotel Development, Mount Rainier National Park, April 3, 1950. In the late 19405 and early 1950s the public demanded that the National Park Service (nps) develop a winter use policy that would make the Paradise area of Mount Rainier a ski resort. Skiers wanted all-year road access, overnight accommodations, and a chair lift or an aerial tram at Paradise. The proposed hotel would have had 250 guest rooms, employee quarters and offices, a museum, lecture hall, warming rooms and ski shops. The dining room and cafeteria would have seated 475. The nps did not want to turn Mt. Rainier into a ski resort and rejected the hotel proposal. Other regional ski areas emerged over the next decade and public demand for a ski resort at Paradise decreased.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mount Rainier and Its Glaciers As for the plea that these glaciers lie in a scarcely opened, out-of the-way region, a forbidding wilderness as compared with maturely civilized Switzerland, it no longer has the force it once possessed. Rainier's ice fields can now be reached from Seattle or Tacoma, the two principal cities of western Washington, In a comfortable day's journeying, either by rail or by automobile. The cooling sight of crevassed glaciers and the exhilarating flower-scented air of alpine meadows need no longer be exclusive pleasures, to be gained only by a trip abroad.

Download or read book Sunrise to Paradise written by Ruth Kirk and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On clear days, the mammoth volcano Mount Rainier dominates the Seattle and Tacoma skylines and can be seen from Whidbey Island to Yakima and the central Washington wheat fields. "The Mountain's out!" is a cheerful local greeting, especially after a long spell of overcast weather. Sunrise to Paradise explores the rich history of this symbol of the Pacific Northwest and the national park that preserves it. Mount Rainier is the fifth highest peak in the United States outside Alaska, and it soars higher above its immediate base than does any other in the lower forty-eight. Sunrise to Paradise describes its geological and glacial origins and current ecological health, and the century-old stewardship of Mount Rainier National Park. Its stories include accounts by Native people such as Saluskin and Wapowety, climbers from John Muir and Fay Fuller to Willi Unsoeld and Lou Whittaker, and entrepreneurs from the Longmire family to Paul Sceva. Here, too, are the tales of scientists and tourists, park rangers and volunteers. Numerous illustrations span the decades. Some of the photographs were taken from albums of the 1912 and 1915 Mountaineers outings; others are by noted photographers of the past like Imogen Cunningham and Asahel Curtis and by contemporary photographers including Ira Spring. There are paintings by Abby Williams Hill and George Tsutakawa and a series specially created by Dee Molenaar.
