In 1899, Mount Rainier became the fifth national park and the first to be established after the Forest Reserve Act of 1891 that created the U.S. Forest Service. An active volcano towering 14,410 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier is the tallest and most iconic feature in the state of Washington.
From massive glaciers, stunning wildflower-covered subalpine meadows and large stands of old-growth forests, the beauty of this park is undeniable. And, with so many spectacular historical and natural resources, scenic views, and recreational opportunities, Mount Rainier has something for everyone.
