Mountain Memories: CCC at Work

During the 1930s, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) crews worked at Mount Rainier National Park. Duties included clearing roads and trails of debris and fallen trees, planting landscaping around new buildings like the Sunrise Blockhouses at Yakima Park, and improving trails with rock walls and other enhancements. Evidence of CCC work can still be found throughout the park today. Mount Rainier National Park Archives Footage (mora_24690, excerpt of “Emergency Conservation Work in Mount Rainier National Park”).
