Ashford WA Washington Paradise Inn Snow Tunnel Mt Rainier National Park Postcard

This vintage postcard showcases the iconic Paradise Inn Snow Tunnel Entrance at Mt. Rainier National Park in Washington State. The image captures mid-century tourists standing beside classic red and silver buses against a striking snow-covered tunnel entrance beneath the Inn's steep shingled roof. The scene beautifully illustrates the park's unique summer conditions where snow drifts often exceed 70 feet, highlighting Mt. Rainier as the highest perpetually snow-clad mountain in the United States.

Printed by the Rainier National Park Co. in Tacoma, Washington, this postcard uses vibrant color lithography courtesy of Curt Teich's Art-Creation from Color Transparencies, a hallmark of quality postcard production during the mid-20th century. The standard 5.5 x 3.5 inch size makes it ideal for collectors seeking authentic National Park memorabilia that captures the charm and history of American natural landmarks. This postcard is an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of vintage travel, national parks, and scenic mountain imagery.
