华盛顿州中部的雷尼尔山 (Mount
Rainier) 成为国家公园
1899年3月2日
慕尔对这里在温暖季节时美景、遍布在山林间色彩丰富的野花印象特别深刻。现在这座国家公园涵盖了雷尼尔山 (这座活火山) 周遭400平方英里的范围。这是最先拥有自然导游、公园骑兵、博物馆，以及设有「无路范围」标志的国家公园之一。这个区域富藏各种资源，包括岩石、冰河、水文、植物，以及动物等，换言之，这里就是充满着美丽、挑战、复兴，以及乐趣等。到了1899年，只有200个人到雷尼尔山国家公园参观。不过到了现在，每年已经有超过2百万人到这里参观了。你想不想成为其中一个呢？
Muir was particularly impressed with the magnificent, colorful wildflowers that blanket the mountain during the warm months. The park today encompasses 400 square miles around Mount Rainier, which is actually an active volcano. It was one of the first parks to have nature guides, park rangers, a museum, and designated "roadless areas." Rich in resources of all kinds, the rocks, glaciers, water, plants, and animals have come to mean so much--beauty, challenge, renewal, and enjoyment. In 1899, 200 people visited Mount Rainier National Park. Today, nearly 2 million visit each year. Would you like to be one of them?
