MOUNT RAINIER 



beginning at Sunset Amphitheatre and draining into the South 

 Fork of the Puyallup River. Just south of this glacier is another 

 called South Tahoma Glacier, which drains into Tahoma Creek, 

 which in turn flows into the Nisqually River at the southwestern 

 corner of the Park. The name is one of the forms of the word 

 Tacoma. Stevens and Van Trump gave the name to what is now 

 known as Liberty Cap at the summit. The name is also applied 

 to a most prominent peak on the eastern slope of the mountain. 

 See Little Tahoma. 



Tamanos Mountain. Near the east-central boundary of the 

 Park. The name is apparently one way of spelling the Chinook 

 jargon word meaning " spirit." 



Tato Falls. On the southern slope, near the foot of Nisqually 

 Glacier. The name was suggested by Superintendent Ethan Allen. 



Tatoosh Range. Near the south-central boundary of the Park.

 from the mountains is called Tatoosh Creek. Highest elevation, at 

 Unicorn Peak, 6,939 f ee 5 above sea level. 



Tenas Creek. Flowing from Mount Wow across the boundary 

 in the southwest corner of the Park. The name is from the Chi- 

 nook jargon meaning " little." 



The Burn. Near the southern boundary of the Park. The 

 name is too suggestive of a departed forest. 



The Castle. A part of the Tatoosh Range, in the southern 

 portion of the Park. 



The Fan. On the southeastern slope, just south of the lower 

 part of Cowlitz Glacier. It is a lake whose name was suggested 

 by its shape.

 dough Mountains, in the northeastern part of the Park. 



The Ramparts. See Rampart Ridge.
