The National Park Story in Pictures

Glacier NP

A HARD-EARNED CATCH—BUT A NICE ONE, Glacier National Park. In order to maintain the finest kind of trout fishing in Glacier Park, the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior, through its nearby hatchery, keeps the principal lakes and rivers well stocked with the various kinds of trout common to the Rocky Mountain region and with grayling. Fishing is best in the afternoon, although late evening or early morning may yield good results. The latter part of the summer affords the best fishing, since the waters are high earlier from the melting snows in the mountains. Casting with artificial fly is the method generally used.

Mount Rainier NP

PARADISE VALLEY CAMPGROUND—NOT ON A BUSY WEEKEND, Mount Rainier National Park. The Paradise Valley campground is one of the most popular in the park. It and the campgrounds at Longmire, Sunrise, and Ohanapecosh are equipped with fireplaces, tables, water, and sanitary facilities. Small community kitchens are maintained at Longmire and Sunrise. There are several other less developed campgrounds scattered throughout the park. (Photograph by Bob and Ira Spring.)
