This planning publication has neither been approved
or disapproved. Its purpose is to provide planning information and
alternatives for further considerations and discussions, and it may
undergo considerable revision.
I obtained my first grand view of the mountain
in August 1867, from one of the prairies southeast of Olympia. That
first true vision of the mountain, revealing so much of its glorious
beauty and grandeur, its mighty and sublime form filling up nearly
all of the field of direct vision, swelling up from the plain and out
of the green forest till its lofty triple summit towered immeasurably
above the picturesque foothills, the westering sun flooding with golden
light and softening tints its lofty summit, rugged sides and far-sweeping
flanksall this impressed me so indescribably, enthused me so
thoroughly, that I then and there vowed almost with fervency, that I would
someday stand upon its glorious summit, if that feat were possible to
human effort and endurance.
