Proposed Master Plan, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

The National Park Service proposes a conceptual master plan for Mount Rainier National Park to establish development patterns and provide management guidelines. Benefits will accrue to both the natural environment and the visitors' experiences by designing, relocating, and rehabilitating facilities to accommodate increased visitor use with the least possible effect on the natural environment; by relocating outside the park those administrative and operational facilities not essential to the prime resource values within the park; and by introducing a form of public transportation within the park. Some of the adverse effects include visitor use impacts such as littering, trampling of vegetation, and compaction of soil; utilization of park lands for roads and visitor use facilities; noise and pollution; and short-term effects of construction and rehabilitation activities.
