The National Park Story in Pictures

Mount Rainier NP

MIRROR LAKE IN INDIAN HENRY'S HUNTING GROUND, Mount Rainier National Park. This beautiful wilderness, like much of the land in the scenic national parks, is off the beaten path. A trail leads to it from the West Side Highway, 4-1/2 miles away; and it is on the Wonderland Trail that completely encircles Mount Rainier. Campsites with shelter cabins, spaced from 8 to 12 miles apart, make possible extended hiking and packing trips of a week or more, as well as short trips, on the Wonderland Trail. Indian Henry's Hunting Ground lies on the southwest slope of" The Mountain," as it is affectionately known to neighboring Washingtonians. (Photograph by Asahel Curtis.)
