Mt. Rainier -- still time to comment

Mt. Rainier currently has one service guiding folks up the mountain on summit attempts. 
The NPS is currently in the process of soliciting comments on their new Commercial
Services Plan.  I think that the "preferred alternative" number 3 (in the
Guided Wilderness Use Alternatives) that allows multiple alternatives in guided climbing
providers is the best choice, but if you have "Climb Mt. Rainier" on your list of
things to do in your lifetime, you should read
the plan
and then send your comments.

Here's the news
release
.  Comments are due by 11/25/03, and you can send comments by email
to mora_commercial_services@nps.gov.
