The centerpiece of Mount Rainier National Park is the eponymous stratovolcano which is the highest peak in the Cascade Mountain Range in Washington, standing at a dizzying elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters). The mountain dominates its primordial wildernesses with poise and grace, and its stratovolcano base is bound with a seemingly endless system of hiking and trekking trails. The area was originally inhabited by quite a few different Pacific Northwest tribes of Native Americans, with George Vancouver being the first European to see the mountain in 1792. Dotted with meadows and varied species of flora including vibrant wildflowers, the park facilitates activities such as cycling and climbing and also offers opportunities for camping.
