Nisqually Glacier Views was commissioned by the North County Honor Band in Battleground, Washington, for their 2023 festival. One of the most majestic and recognizable landmarks in Washington state is Mount Rainier. With 25 named glaciers, there is no shortage of beautiful places to visit. Best viewed from the Nisqually Vista Trail, near Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park, the Nisqually Glacier is a favorite of many visitors and one of the most visited in the park. The Glacier was first photographed in 1884 by Allen Mason, which has laid the groundwork for a photographic history of over a century. Over the decades, the Nisqually Glacier has had many periods of retreating and advancing in size. US Geological Survey and National Park scientists continue to study and monitor the Glacier and its impact on the area.
