Excerpt from Records of Mount Rainier National Park Cover: us. 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.

Mount Rainier rises 14,410 feet above sea level and can be seen on any given day by over three million people and from over 100 miles away. It is Americas fifth national park, established in 1899. The mountain is an active but currently dormant volcano. With 25 named glaciers, 50 smaller unnamed glaciers, and numerous perennial snowfields, Mount Rainier boasts the largest glacier system in the continental United States. In addition to the glacier zone, the park has alpine and subalpine forest and subtropical rain forest. Each zone has its own unique ecology of plants and animals. The vistas of and from the mountain are some of the most spectacular in all of the park system.

A magnificent active volcano, Mount Rainier ascends to 14,410 feet above sea level--the highest in Washington State. The source of five major rivers, it has more glaciers than any other peak in the contiguous U.S. Its slopes are home to ancient forests, spectacular subalpine meadows, and unique, captivating creatures. In Tahoma and Its People, a passionate, informed, hands-on science educator presents a natural and environmental history of Mount Rainier National Park and the surrounding region. Jeff Antonelis-Lapp explores geologic processes that create and alter landscapes, interrelationships within and between plant and animal communities, weather and climate influences on ecosystems, and what linked the iconic mountain with the people who traveled to it for millennia. He intersperses his own direct observation and study of organisms, as well as personal interactions with rangers, archaeologists, a master Native American weaver, and others. He covers a plethora of topics: geology, archaeology, indigenous villages and use of resources, climate and glacier studies, alpine and forest ecology, rivers, watershed dynamics, keystone species, threatened wildlife, geological hazards, and current resource management. Numerous color illustrations, maps, and figures supplement the text. 2020 Banff Mountain Book Competition Finalist, Mountain Environment and Natural History category
