WA State Library photos: skiing Mount Rainier

January 25, 2016

Our State Library has many rare and historic books, newspapers, maps and other collections (even phone books!) related to Washington and the Northwest.

The State Library also has a great collection of more than 5,000 classic black-and-white photos that capture Washington’s history, people, geography and economic development. You can view the State Library Photograph Collection, 1851-1990, here. It’s also found on our Digital Archives website.

Since we're in the middle of a white winter in the mountains, you'll enjoy some great shots of snow-covered Washington locales. One shot shows two skiers crossing a ridge line near Dege Peak below Sunrise in Mount Rainier National Park. The photo was taken sometime between 1920 and 1950. You can learn more about this photo here.
