Washington's Mount Rainier National Park: A Centennial Celebration
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
Home to more than 120 alpine plant species, three of which are found nowhere else in the world, Mount Rainier remains a refuge for a diversity of flora and fauna. It is also a magnet for the hundreds of thousands of people who live within sight of its snowy slopes and for millions of visitors who arrive from around the world each year. O'Hara and McNulty explore the conflict this presents as park managers attempt to balance protection of the mountain's fragile ecosystems with the desires of the many who wish to seek solitude in its vast forests or challenge themselves on its daunting glaciers.

Beautiful pictures - but not a guide book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This books has some fantastically beautiful pictures. It provide useful information of Mt. Rainier and how it looks like during different seasons and also it gives you an idea of where to go and take beautiful photos. Having said that, however, this is not a guidebook per se, hence, it does not provide you with information to get around Mt. Rainier.
Great gift for anyone who's hiked The Mountain
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Those of us who have hiked or climbed Mt. Rainier know that the beauty of the experience doesn't always come out in our photos. O'Hara has captured that beauty in over a hundred shots we all wish we had taken.
