Our national parks offer more than a treasure of natural wonder. Ranger-led programs also offer a glimpse in the past, as well as talks about the unique habitats within park boundaries.
On Saturday, a Mount Rainier National Park ranger will present “Tales of Tahoma.” The program includes stories of the native Indians who lived around the mountain before it was called Rainier. Archaeological evidence indicates Indians hunted and gathered on the mountain as far back as 9,600 years ago. The program will be at 8:30 p.m. at the Cougar Rock Campground amphitheater. The program is free, but park admission is $15 per vehicle, good for seven days.
On Thursday, visitors to Olympic National Park can learn more about the coastal wilderness areas within the park. A ranger will present a program on the coast and the people who lived there at 8 p.m. at the Kalaloch Campground amphitheater. The program is free. For more information, contact the Kalaloch Ranger Station at 360-962-2283.
