MOUNT RAINIER 



Puyallup Glacier. On the western slope. Its name comes from 

 the fact that it feeds one of the branches of the Puyallup River. 



Puyallup River. Two forks of this river rise from the glaciers 

 on the western and southwestern slopes of the mountain. The 

 river empties into Puget Sound at Tacoma Harbor. There have 

 been many spellings of the word in early annals. Rev. Myron 

 Eells says the tribe of Indians living on the river called themselves 

 " Puyallupnamish." 



Pyramid Park. On the southern slope of the mountain, adja- 

 cent to Pyramid Peak. From the park flows a stream called 

 Pyramid Creek, and above the park lies Pyramid Glacier, between 

 South Tahoma and Kautz Glaciers. 



Pyramid Peak. On the southwestern slope, overlooking Indian 

 Henrys Hunting Ground. It was named by James L. Mosman, 

 of Yelm, because of its resemblance to a perfect pyramid. The 

 same name has been extended to a small park and glacier to the 

 northeastward of the peak. Elevation, 6,937 feet above sea level. 



Rainier. See Mount Rainier. 



Rampart Ridge. On the southern slope of the mountain. 

 This ridge is a prominent group of crags rising above Longmire 

 Springs. Elevation, 3,800 feet above sea level. The nearer and 

 higher portion of the ridge is known as The Ramparts. The name 

 is an old one, but who first suggested it has not been ascertained. 

 Elevation of The Ramparts, 4,080 feet above sea level. 



Ranger Creek. In the northwestern corner of the Park, flowing 

 into Carbon River near the Ranger Station at the boundary of the 

 Park. 



Redstone Peak. In the north-central portion of the Park, 

 between the headwaters of Van Horn Creek and White River. 



Reese's Camp. On the south-central slope of the mountain, 

 in Paradise Park. For a number of years John L. Reese has ac- 

 commodated visitors in a log and canvas hotel with numerous 

 tents for sleeping rooms. The name of his camp has grown so 

 familiar that other names are forgotten. The site of his hotel was 

 once known as Theosophy Ridge. Beginning with 1916, the 

 Rainier National Park Company, a new corporation composed of 

 prominent citizens, will supplant Reese's Camp with a modern 

 hotel and will provide garages, lunch-stations and other con- 

 veniences for the tourists. The elevation at Reese's Camp is 

 5,557 feet above sea level. 



Reflection Lakes. On the south-central slope of the mountain. 

 These lakes are visited by all who make the trip to Pinnacle Peak 

 from Paradise Valley. Elevation, 4,861 feet above sea level. 



Register Rock. On the rim of the crater, where there is securely 

 fastened in the rocks a record on which all successful climbers by
