Description |
English: Notes in inventory: Paradise Park, Mount Tacoma. Panorama showing Gibraltar Rock, Cowlitz Cleaver, the Beehive and head of the Nisqually Glacier . Gibraltar is a massive, square rock cliff, elevation 12,679 ft., directly southeast of Mt. Rainier's summit in a saddle at the head of Ingraham Glacier. It was named by Maj. E. S. Ingraham and members of his exploring party in 1888 for its resemblance to Gibraltar at the west entrance to Mediterranean Sea . Cowlitz Cleaver is a narrow, rocky ridge which extends southeast from Gibraltar between the Cowlitz and Nisqually glaciers, on the southeast slopes of Mt. Rainier. The name describes the function of this ridge, which divides ice flows, with part of the outflow reaching Puget Sound and part reaching Columbia River . Beehive Pinnacle is a large rock on the southeast slope of Mount Rainier on the upper reaches of the Cowlitz Glacier. It was named by Major E.S. Ingraham in 1888 because it reminded him of one of an old-fashioned bee hives. The elevation of the rock is 11,033 feet, and the Washington Board of Geographic Names has adopted the name "The Beehive" for this location . Nisqually Glacier is one of the great rivers of ice on the south slope of Mount Rainier. It extends from the summit to the headwaters of the Nisqually River, a distance of about five miles. This is one of the six largest glaciers on Mount Rainier and its terminus was about 1,500 ft. lower in the middle 1880s. In 1870, it was named for the Nisqually River by Gen. Hazard Stevens and P. B. Van Trump, when they found it to be the source of that stream. PH Coll 291.186
