Title
English: Hikers at Paradise below the summit of Mount Rainier, ca. 1915
Description
English: The alpine meadows at Paradise, below the summit of Mount Rainier, have long been popular with hikers. From here, visitors to Mount Rainier National Park can explore the meadows or climb further up the mountain.

This photo, probably taken in the 1910s, shows two men standing in the meadow at Paradise. The rocky ridge to the right of the summit of Mount Rainier is Gibraltar Rock. The men hold long wooden alpenstocks, standard mountain climbing equipment before the introduction of ice axes. Heavy wool military clothing was popular with hikers before the development of specialized gear.
