Protesters held up signs and chanted as cars passed by during a “Protect Our Parks” protest along state Route 706 outside of the Nisqually entrance to Mount Rainier National Park near Ashford on Saturday, March 1.



The protest was in support of the National Parks System, rangers and public lands as the Trump administration continues making federal funding cuts.

Similar events were held at national parks, historic sites and other locations across the country on Saturday.
