The ecosystems within Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state are diverse-
from subalpine meadow to old-growth forest-and support a variety of birds, reptiles,
amphibians, fishes, mammals, and plants. Mount Rainier describes and illustrates in full
color each of these plant and animal species and explores the park's geological history,
land use issues, native people, and past explorers-at once a traveler's guide, field guide,
and natural history of one of America's most popular and extraordinary national parks.

George Wuerthner has written more than 20 books including Grand A Visitor's
Companion and A Visitor's Companion (see below). He lives in Eugene,
Oregon. Natural science illustrator Douglas W. Moore lives in Tucson, Arizona.
