Order an Image
Starting around 1915, The Seattle Times ran a series of articles describing auto tours Seattle drivers could make to nearby scenic spots. One of these ran to Mount Rainier and included a stop at Nisqually Glacier. The newspaper reported, "a walk of five minutes takes the visitor to the very mouth of the glacier from which shoots the Nisqually River. This is one of the grandest sights that can be obtained anywhere."

This photo shows four tourists standing at the base of Nisqually Glacier in May 1915.
