Notes
  • Significance: The first road constructed in Mount Rainier National Park, the Nisqually Road was built under the supervision of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is significant for its especially careful relation to the landscape. The road was designed to rise on a gentle grade from the park entrance to Paradise Valley, the principal park development. It winds through lowland forests to Longmire, then begins to climb the south flank of the mountain, passing rushing waterfalls and striking vistas before reaching the lovely subalpine meadows of Paradise. The road was the first in the country to reach a glacier, a feat considered remarkable in its day. Reconstructed in the 1920s, the road remains the most important thoroughfare at Mount Rainier.
