Congratulations, Mount Rainier National Park — 116 and Going Strong! — Dave’s Diary
In 1899, Mount Rainier National Park was created. Who here among us hasn't marveled at that awesome mountain on a sunny day? What a great icon of the Pacific Northwest.There's an old saying in Seattle that goes "If you look up at Mount Rainier and see clouds, it's going to rain... and if you look up at the mountain and there are no clouds, it's going to rain."
Congratulations to the old girl. Native Americans called her Tahoma or Tacoma. We call her fantastic and potentially dangerous and we call upon her to not erupt!
