Camp Muir, Mountain hut at Mount Rainier, Pierce County, United States.
Camp Muir stands at 10,188 feet elevation on Mount Rainier's southeast slope, providing shelter for mountaineers preparing to reach the summit.
The structure, constructed in the early twentieth century and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, represents the evolution of mountaineering practices.
Named after naturalist John Muir, this shelter embodies the connection between recreational climbing development and environmental preservation in the Pacific Northwest.
Climbers begin their journey to Camp Muir from Paradise, following a steep trail that requires substantial physical preparation and appropriate mountaineering equipment.
The rustic architecture of Camp Muir incorporates natural materials that match the mountain environment, while functioning as the highest public shelter on Mount Rainier.
