=Indian Bar.= A large gravel bar in Ohanapecosh Park on the eastern slope of the mountain.

=Indian Henrys Hunting Ground.= About 1870, a Cowlitz Indian began hunting mountain goats in that region. Henry Winsor, a pioneer mail carrier, asked his name and got an unp.r.o.nounceable answer. "That's no name," said Winsor, "your name is Indian Henry." His playful joke stuck. On the map the word "Indian" is omitted, but the United States Geographic Board has voted to restore it. P. B. Van Trump said the Indian's name was Sotolick.

=Ingraham Glacier.= This beautiful glacier lies between Cathedral Rocks and Little Tahoma on the southeast slope. It was named by Professor I. C. Russell in 1896 in honor of Major E. S. Ingraham of Seattle.

=Inter Glacier.= On the northeast slope. It was named by Major E. S.

Ingraham in 1886 when he attempted but failed to ascend the mountain from the north side. The name was suggested by the glacier being hemmed in by a rim of rocks.

=Ipsut Pa.s.s.= In the northwestern corner of the Park. Flowing from it to the Carbon River is a stream called Ipsut Creek. The word is said to be a form of an Indian word meaning "bear."

=Iron Mountain.= On the southwestern slope of the mountain, overlooking Indian Henrys Hunting Ground. The name describes the ma.s.ses of supposed iron stain. Elevation, 6,200 feet above sea level.

=Jeanette Heights.= On the west-central slope overlooking Edmunds Glacier. Origin of name not ascertained.

=Lake Eleanor.= Near the northern boundary of the Park. Origin of name not ascertained.

=Lake Ethel.= In the north-central portion of the Park, with outlet into the West Fork of White River. The name was suggested by The Mountaineers in 1912 as a compliment to the daughter of Park Ranger Thomas E. O'Farrell.

=Liberty Cap.= The northern peak of the summit of Mount Rainier. It has been claimed that Stevens and Van Trump gave this name at the time of their first ascent in 1870, but Mr. Van Trump says they called it Tahoma Peak. One of the early uses of the present name was by Bailey Willis, who wrote in 1883: "Over the trees near the outlet, just to the right of this pinnacle, a pure white peak towers up into the heavens; it is the northern summit of Mount Tacoma,--the Liberty Cap."

Elevation, 14,112 feet above sea level.

=Liberty Ridge.= To the west of Willis Wall and overlooking the head of Carbon Glacier near the northern summit. The name was adopted in 1914 by the engineers of the United States Geological Survey who made the official map of the Park. It was suggested by John H. Williams, author of the book ent.i.tled "The Mountain That Was G.o.d."

=Little Tahoma Peak.= A towering and rugged peak on the east flank of Mount Rainier. Very few adventuresome climbers have as yet attained its summit. Elevation, 11,117 feet above sea level. The only ascent known was made by Prof. J. B. Flett and H. H. Garretson.

=Lodi Creek.= A tributary of White River, in the north-central portion of the Park. The name is said to have been given by early prospectors for minerals.

=Longmire Springs.= Near the southeastern boundary of the Park. The springs were discovered by the pioneer, James Longmire, who acquired t.i.tle to the property and lived there until his death on September 17, 1897.
