The first Mount Rainier National Parks Associates Trail Work Party was in
1985. The value of our work to the Park Service now approaches $7,000
per year.

Associates volunteers spreading gravel on the trail after having edged
with rock. This keeps users on the trail, avoiding damage to delicate
plant life.
