New Visitor Center Opens At Mt. Rainier Today

A new visitor center makes its grand debut today at Paradise on Mt. Rainier. The new eco-friendlier center took three years to build and will replace the original space ship-esque Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center. While this Center won't offer the panoramic 360-degree view or the hot showers after a long hike to the old center, it will cost 77% less to operate and offers new exhibits on the mountain's history, geology, and flora and fauna. If any of you fine readers are heading out to the Mountain to check it out, report back to us and take some photos!

Oh GREAT how much did THIS cost the taxpayers? We didnt have THIS at Mt Rainier in the good old days. Just developers lining their pockets!!


Oh wait this isnt the PI comments log??

Ummm...then I mean awesome. Jackson Visitors Center sucked.


The new building's less than 1/3 the size of the old one. And no showers for the hikers. Thanks Dept of the Interior!
