The Ascent to Mt. Rainier

Those great, set, lazy irregularities of the earth's surface known as mountains are never more magnificent than when draped in their mantles of snow trimmed with sun beams, and this splendid half-reel shows them at their best. The Rainier National Park of more than 2,000,000 acres is situated in the Rainier National Forest Reserve in Pierce County, Washington. Mt. Rainier is a volcanic pile 14,526 feet high, covered by 32,500 acres of perpetual ice and snow. This film shows the tourist pitching camp in the foothills before attempting the ascent of the towering peak. Then comes the ascent in which Paradise River, Sluiskin Falls, Nisqually Glacier, St Tahoma Glacier and a glimpse of the Tatiosh range are shown. The climbing is very perilous. The picture ends with a view of Mt. Rainier and Mirror Lake, most aptly named, as can be seen from the perfection in which it reflects the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
