A lithe Indian stood Just in
side the circle of light cast by
the fitfu lly flaring campfire.
Sluiskin. for such was his tam e ,
was speaking in the flow ery
language of his fathers;
" If you go on with your fool
ish plan to climb Takhoma, if
you should escape the many
perils tha* surely beset your
path, and should you reach" the
great snowy dome, then a bit
terly cold and furious tempest
w ill sweep you off into space
like a withered leaf. And if by
some miracle you should sur
vive all these perils, the mighty
demon of Takhoma w ill surely
k ill you and throw you into
the fiery lake . . ."
Advice Was Serious
Sluiskin spoke earnestly and
with awe in his voice. His audi
ence, two lean northwest pio
neers. listened gravely and
smiled. They were not to be
disuaded, and the foltowing day,
to the eternal amazement of
the Indian, they climbed the
"Mountain That Was God” for
the first time.
A ll this happened almost 71
years ago— it was August 17,
1870, that the two Olympia,
Wash , pioneers. Hazard Stevens
and P. B. Van Trum p, made the
first climb. But to this day.
Mount Rainier— or Mount T a

among the pleated ridges at her
base, in the feelings of even the
casual visitor.

Peak Massive Sentinel
A t the upper end of the val
ley Mount Rainier stood senti
nel. The afternoon sun was
slanting across “the Mountain
That Was God," putting dia
mond-bright highlights on her
glacial fields. There was majes
ty in the scene, but there was a
hint, too, of power, of winter
gales that could seemingly pick
cars and travelers from a pre
carious perch like flies being
brushed from a wall.

A lpine Loop Complete
But in June of 1940, the last
leg of the road from Ohanjqie-
cosh hot springs in the south
east corner of the park to C hi
nook pass was completed, m ak
ing it passible to drive com
pletely around the mountain.
The last finishing touches were
put on the road this year, and
it was that section of the road
that prompted the motorlog. .
As for which side of the
mountain« is the best to visit,
that, like ail questions, has two
sides and opponents and pro
ponents on both sides.
The
motorioggers
tim idly
venture these opinions on that
question;
(a) If you go for companion
ship. try the south side. Some
34.000 cars have been checker*
into Paradise valley so far this
year, while less than half that
number visited Yakima park.
(b) If you go for scenery, try
the north side. Yakim a park Is
1000 feet higher on the moun
tain. (Yakim a park elevation,
6400 feet; Paradise elevation,
5400 feet.) The mountain seems
closer, the erags craggier, tha
vollpys deeper.
But in either case, it’s a mat
ter of degree. Whichever aide
he visits, it w ill be a hard
hearted man tliut doesn’t get
something of the Sluiskin*«
sense of awe from “The Moun
tain That Was God.”
