From the Publisher
In the centennial year of Mount Rainier National Park, The Mountaineers Books is pleased to bring this classic memoir back into print. Originally published in 1959, A Year in Paradise is author Floyd Schmoe's portrait of Mount Rainier through the seasons of 1920.

Schmoe's love affair with Rainier began during the winter he and his new bride spent caretaking Paradise Lodge, which was completely buried under the snow until the Fourth of July. His knowledge of natural history, his photographic talent, and his graceful writing combine to create a rich portrait of this beloved mountain.

With 20 b&w photos and 30 illustrations. New paperback.
