Tatoosh Range
The Tatoosh Range is a mountain range located in Mount Rainier National Park and the adjacent Tatoosh Wilderness in the state of Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.〔Mandrake. ("Tatoosh Range." ) SummitPost.org, 2006. Accessed on July 15, 2011.〕 The range runs roughly east–west, beginning with the southeastern Tatoosh Peak and concluding with the western Eagle Peak.〔 The range includes 13 prominent named peaks. The peaks average approximately in summit elevation, with the highest, Unicorn Peak, measuring at a height of .〔("Park Map." ) National Park Service. Accessed on July 15, 2011.〕 Visitors to Mount Rainier can view the range from the Paradise area,〔("Building isn't quite paradise." ) ''Eugene Register-Guard,'' June 14, 1999.

==History==
While some of the peaks, including the distinctive Unicorn Peak, are named for their appearance, others are named in honor of notable individuals. Lane Peak, for example, honors Franklin Knight Lane, former United States Secretary of the Interior.〔("Named in Lane's Memory." ) ''The New York Times'' November 5, 1921.

Like other ranges, the Tatoosh Range has seen its share of casualties. In 1924, an assistant mountain guide named Paul Moser fell to his death attempting to scale Unicorn Peak by a new route.〔("Mountain Guide Falls to Death." ) ''Spokane Daily Chronicle,'' August 23, 1924. Accessed on July 15, 2011, from Google News Archive.〕 In 2004, 16-year-old Vasiliy Kozorezov fell and died while hiking off-trail below the Eagle Peak Trail.〔("Youth, 16, falls to his death in Mount Rainier park." ) ''The Seattle Times,'' November 14, 2004. Accessed on July 15, 2011 from Google News Archive.〕 Unexpected or extreme weather conditions can also cause problems. In 1946, heavy fog caused park employees Donald Carlson and James Pratt to get lost in the range for two days, but as the weather improved, they were able to find their way back.〔("Missing Rainier Employes Return." ) ''Ellensburg Daily Record,'' August 17, 1946.〕
In 1910, a USGS crew made the first recorded summit of the peaks.〔Nelson, Jim, and Potterfield, Peter. ''(Climbs in the Cascades: Alpine routes, sport climbs & crag climbs. )'' The Mountaineers Books, 2000. Accessed on July 18, 2011.〕 In the 1920s and 1930s, farmers regularly let their cattle graze along the Tatoosh Range.〔("Room Improvement Club Prize." ) ''The Chehalis Bee-Nugget,'' Octer 23, 1925. Accessed on July 15, 2011, from Google News Service.〕〔("Revival Meetings at Randle." ) ''The Chehalis Bee-Nugget,'' July 3, 1931. Accessed on July 15, 2011, from Google News Service.〕 In 1937, attempts were made to film the movie ''Thin Ice'' on location, but blizzards made it impossible, so the crew and actors Tyrone Power and Sonja Henie returned to California to shoot the movie in a studio, while director Dave Butler and a cameraman stayed behind to collect footage of the Tatoosh Range to use for the background images.〔("Mountain Won't Be Movie Actor; Company Leaves." ) ''Ellensburg Daily Record,'' April 9, 1937.
