Sweeping across a high alpine meadow golden with late-summer grasses, this breathtaking real-photo view captures the full glacier-armored majesty of Mount Rainier rising above Yakima Park — today known as Sunrise, the highest point reachable by road in the park — with the geometric grid of a tent camp or early visitor facility laid out in the valley below, hemmed by dark conifers and bisected by a dirt trail that curves invitingly toward the summit snowfields. Signed in the lower right by the prominent Pacific Northwest photographer Ellis (of the Ellis Photo Co., Tacoma/Portland), this card represents the golden era of RPPC tourism promotion for Mount Rainier National Park, established in 1899 and increasingly accessible after the 1931 opening of the Sunrise Road. The blank, unused verso carries the standard Ellis/AZO-style "Post Card" correspondence format of the 1920s–30s.
