Title
English: Chalmers cars at the Paradise Inn, Mount Rainier National Park, ca. 1918
Description
English: In 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.
