History
For James Longmire, the sight must have been awesome as he approached Mount Rainier on a crisp morning in 1883. Imagine steam vapor billowing about the ferns & evergreens of the ancient forest, revealing the location of mineral hot springs & a place of amazing beauty. Longmire & his partner, William Packwood, had been exploring this area to develop a main route from Puget Sound to Mount Rainier by following ancient Native American trails. The discovery of the hot springs was too good to pass up. He filed a claim, constructed a rudimentary trail & h&crafted a small cabin. His family, who had traveled west on the Oregon Trail 30 years earlier, joined him to build & operate the first tourist Inn on Mount Rainier. Today, the National Park Inn offers 25 guest rooms, casual dining restaurant, a guest lounge, & country store. Open year round, visitors from around the world stay at the Inn to enjoy spectacular views, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing & legendary hospitality.
