Mount Rainier National Park Calendar 2021 Wall

Product Description

Mount Rainier National Park in western Washington State preserves some of the best of nature s scenic treasures. Described as an Arctic island in a temperate sea of coniferous forest, Mount Rainier is the tallest volcano in the Cascade Range and the largest single-peak glacial system in the contiguous United States. The Mount Rainier National Park calendar captures the park in all of its seasonal beauty through words and photographs by Ronald G. Warfield.
The 14,411-foot Mountain, named for Rear Admiral Peter Rainier of the Royal British Navy, shoulders the largest single-peak glacial system in the contiguous United States. World-record snowfalls blanket the park each winter season, creating a monochromatic wonderland. When the snowbanks melt away in July and August, the most luxuriant wildflowers to be found anywhere ring The Mountain in a multicolored sub-alpine wreath. May these images of The Mountain encourage you to visit one of the most magnificent places in the Pacific Northwest. When you visit, please remember NOT to be a meadow stomper, so that future generations of mountain enthusiasts and flower lovers can enjoy the same uplifting scenes of natural beauty with which we are blessed.
