Chalmers cars at the Paradise Inn, Mount Rainier National Park, circa 1918
Order an ImageIn 1915, sixteen years after the creation of Mount Rainier National Park, the National Park Service built a single lane road from Longmire Springs to Paradise Valley. The Paradise Inn was built in 1916 and became a popular destination for automobile trips. A car could leave Seattle or Tacoma after breakfast and eat lunch at the Paradise Inn. Before the automobile and better roads, this trip would have taken at least a full day.
In this photo, taken in about 1918, three Chalmers cars full of tourists park in front of Paradise Inn at Mount Rainier.
