Title
English: Wall of ice at mouth of Nisqually Glacier, August 4, 1895
Description
English: Notes in inventory: Paradise Park, Mount Tacoma. Great Ice Wall in Nisqually Glacier. Near head of glacier .

Nisqually Glacier is one of the great rivers of ice on the south slope of Mount Rainier. It extends from the summit to the headwaters of the Nisqually River, a distance of about five miles. This is one of the six largest glaciers on Mount Rainier and its terminus was about 1,500 ft. lower in the middle 1880s. In 1870, it was named for the Nisqually River by Gen. Hazard Stevens and P. B. Van Trump, when they found it to be the source of that stream .
