tary of the Paradise River. The name was given by Jules Stam- 

 pfler, the guide, in 1907. Myrtle was a member of one of his par- 

 ties, but he has forgotten the rest of her name. 



Mystic Lake. On the northern slope of the mountain, between 

 the Winthrop and Carbon Glaciers. It is a favorite place for 

 campers who expect to attempt the ascent of the mountain on its 

 northern slopes. Elevation, 5,750 feet above sea level. Named 

 by Prof. J. B. Flett and H. H. Garretson on account of a mysterious 

 temporary whirlpool seen near its outlet. 



Nahunta Falls. On the south slope. At one time the falls 

 had the name Marie, but it was changed at the suggestion of 

 Secretary Josephus Daniels of the United States Navy Depart- 

 ment. He says : " The name was familiar to me as one given by 

 the Carolina Tuscarora to a river in North Carolina and also to 

 their largest fort or ' head town.' ' Secretary Daniels obtained 

 from the Bureau of American Ethnology information that the 

 name has appeared under various spellings and may mean " tall 

 trees " or " tall timbers." 



Narada Falls. On the south-central slope, the principal feature 

 of the lower Paradise River. An effort was recently made to 

 change the name to Cushman Falls in honor of the late Congress- 

 man F. W. Cushman, a strong friend of the Park. The present 

 name is of Theosophical origin. Narada was a spiritual being 

 worshipped by the Brahman people in India by reason of his 

 service to the first race of men. Among modern Theosophists the 

 word has become a metaphysical subject, the greater part of which 

 is given to esoteric students and cannot be revealed. The word 

 itself means " uncontaminated." The wonderful beauty of the 

 scene, in its pure and original form, suggested the name to an early 

 group of visitors, Theosophists, consisting of the following persons : 

 Professor E. O. Schwagerl, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Sheffield, 

 Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Knight, Miss Ida Wright (now Mrs. Vern 

 Mudgett), Mrs. Addie G. Barlow and Mr. Henry Carter. Eleva- 

 tion, 4,572 feet above sea level. 



National Park Inn. At Longmire Springs near the southwestern 

 entrance to the Park. This attractive hotel has frequently been 

 so overrun with guests that numerous tents have been used for 

 sleeping quarters. These are placed in the groves of pines and 

 firs on the bank of the Nisqually River. Many trips to interesting 

 parts of the mountain are made from the Inn. Elevation, 2,761' 

 feet above sea level. 



Natural Bridge. In the north-central portion of the Park. 

 Many photographers have scrambled to the scene of this natural 

 curiosity. Elevation, 5,400 feet above sea level. 



Needle Creek. Near the east-central boundary of the Park.
