“Desire to work outdoors and respect for nature” - says Rudy Wilson, the Mount Rainier National Park ranger – “That is all it takes to work here.” And what a literally beautiful this job would be!400 people were hired as “extra” just this April for a season 2011. And all of them are gonna have lots of to do. The park is full of things to keep its staff and guests occupied:
- climbing seminars (for ones, who dies to get high fast)
- talks and walks (for history and legends hungry)
- junior ranger quest (for an energetic future generation)
40 000 visitors would come and spend hours or days in the park each year. It costs some money. But if you find yourself being a Native American, then you can show up by the gates without a single penny in your pocket. The guard will let you in absolutely gratis. Why? Because it was yours forefathers territory and sacred place long time ago. Even now some tribes get together to have traditional private ceremonies by the 14410ft tall mountain of Rainier. No witnesses are allowed.
A tip from a ranger: This Park has got a wide variety of fauna. If you meet the Black Bear or a Mountain Lion remember: “Don’t run. Back slowly. Talk loudly.”
Rest well )))
