About This Book
A richly illustrated guide to the great Cascade volcano commonly called Rainier or Tacoma, presenting its natural history, glacial and volcanic features, climbing routes, panoramic views and flora, together with Indigenous origin stories of the mountain's name. It combines descriptive text, numbered photographic views and maps to orient tourists and mountaineers, discusses the tangled glacier nomenclature and advocates for improved park trails and conservation, and includes practical notes on access, notable ascents, and safety. Scientific observations, poetical interludes and detailed captions enhance an armchair tour as well as a field companion for visitors.
