The
following series of photos, found among Homer and Rose's
photo collection, show Homer and his brother Samuel Kirtland
Hine ("Kirt" who was visiting from Ohio) as part of a
perhaps guided hiking tour on Mt. Rainier, an over 14,000
foot tall glaciated mountain about 80 miles from Seattle.
In the background of the first photo is the Paradise Inn
which is located at about 5,400 ft. up the mountain.
Since no one in the group appears to be carrying a pack and
most appear overly dressed , I suspect their adventure was a
localized one that didn't involve serious mountain climbing.
The photos are undated but I suspect were taken in the mid
to late 1920's. |
