Molly Hashimoto, author and illustrator of Birds of the West and Colors of the West, has created another beautiful look at the natural world in Mount Rainier National Park. When you experience such expansive beauty as is found at Mount Rainier, she says, "you want to tell everyone else about it, and for me, art is how I communicate my passion."

Featuring Hashimoto's watercolor paintings and sketches, this book follows along the national park's main road to offer an "artist's tour." Through evocative anecdotes, natural history, and park history, it explores the major visitor areas, natural wonders, popular landmarks, and park flora and fauna, including everyone's favorite, marmots! Her lush palette captures Rainier through the seasons and in all its glorious details, creating a keepsake for visitors and residents alike.

Critical Reviews

A beautiful, entertaining, thoughtful and thought-provoking little volume to simply browse through one informative and contemplative page at a time.-- "Midwest Book Review"

Hashimoto's writing is very conversational and will lull readers into thinking they are listening to a good friend tell of her travels. Her soft watercolor paintings of the flora and fauna of the park as well as the pretty scenery will tempt readers to tear out pages and frame them. This is a spectacular homage to Mount Rainier National Park.-- "San Francisco Book Review"

Hashimoto is an affectionate tour guide to Mount Rainier National Park. Whether you've never been or you've been a thousand times, you'll enjoy her circuit through the park.... Her explanations of natural history, geology and human history are mixed in with her own stories of her time in the park. It's the next best thing to actually taking a hike through the park.-- "Washington Trails magazine"

A beautiful book on Mount Rainier that will appeal to all who see this mountain as the icon of our environment.--Diane Snell "Leschi News"
