Mount Rainier National Park

Mount Rainier national park is one of the most beautiful national parks in all of the United States. Mount Rainier national park is located in the west coast, in the state of Washington. Mount Rainier became a national park on March 2nd, 1899. Mount Rainier was only the fifth park to become a national park in United States history. The interesting part of Mount Rainier is the fact that it was the first national park to be created from a complete forest. Mount Rainier is also a mountain that is famous and well known. Mount Rainier stands at 14,111 feet and is a stratovolcano. What's great about Mount Rainier is that many hikers use amount Rainier as a training ground for when they go and hike Mount Everest. Mount Rainier is only half the size of Mount Everest. Mount Rainier is also considered to be one of the most dangerous mountains in the world because of the amount of glacier ice there is on top of the mountain. If the glacier ice melts, it can come to be water and flood rivers, trails, and roads that are located near. Mount Rainier national park is also known for having various plants and animals. After doing my presentation and research on Mount Rainier National Park, it made me want to one day visit and see the beautiful park with my own eyes.
