MOUNT RAINIER 



Clover Lakes. In White River Park, in the northwestern part 

 of the Park. 



Cold Basin. In the northern portion of the Park, just south of 

 Grand Park. 



Colonnade. The ridge lying between the South Mowich 

 and the Puyallup Glaciers on the west-central slope of the moun- 

 tain. 



Columbia Crest. Name suggested by H. E. Holmes of the 

 Ingraham party in 1891. They had spent two nights in the crater 

 and before leaving voted on a name for the highest part of the 

 summit, with Columbia Crest as the result. It has occasionally 

 been called The Dome. By Stevens and Van Trump it was called 

 Crater Peak. Elevation, 14,408 feet above sea level. 



Comet Falls. On the southern slope of the mountain, in Van 

 Trump Park. Elevation, 5,200 feet above sea level. 



Cougar Falls. Near the southern boundary of the Park, in the 

 Nickel Creek tributary of the Cowlitz River. 



Cowlitz Chimneys. Pointed and columnar rocks on the east- 

 central slope. Though not adjacent to the glacier or river of that 

 name, they undoubtedly got their name from one or the other. 

 Elevation 7,607 feet above sea level. 



Cowlitz Cleaver. Near the southern peak of the summit. It 

 is appropriately named, as it cleaves the higher streams of ice part 

 of which flow into Puget Sound and the rest into the Columbia 

 River. 



Cowlitz Divide. A ridge running from north to south in the 

 southeastern corner of the Park. 



Cowlitz Glacier. Named by General Hazard Stevens and 

 P. B. Van Trump in 1870 when they discovered it to be the source 

 of the river by that name. It has its beginning from a group of 

 smaller glaciers on the southeast slope of the mountain. Above 

 the glaciers lies Cowlitz Park. 



Cowlitz River. The name appears as early as the Lewis and 

 Clark reports, 1805-1806, where it is spelled Coweliskee. In 

 varying forms it appears in the writings of all subsequent explorers. 

 A tribe of Indians by that name inhabited its valleys. The river 

 finally flows southward into the Columbia River. 



Cowlitz Rocks. A mass of rocks on the southeast slope, between 

 the Paradise and Cowlitz Glaciers. The rocks were named in 

 1907 by the veteran guide, Jules Stampfler, who found a name 

 necessary to satisfy the curiosity of his companies of tourists. 

 Elevation, 7,457 feet above sea level. 



Crater Lake. On the northwest slope. Bailey Willis gave the 

 name in 1883. He recently wrote: "The amphitheatres which 

 the young geologist mistook for craters are now known to be
