The Interior Secretary fully controls Mount Rainier National Park and must make rules to manage it. Those rules must protect the park's timber, minerals, and natural wonders in their natural state. The Secretary can lease building sites, grant railway rights-of-way, protect fish and game, and remove trespassers.

Mount Rainier National Park is under the exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior, who must make and publish, as soon as practical, whatever rules the Secretary thinks necessary to care for and manage it. These rules must protect all timber, mineral deposits, natural curiosities, and wonders in the park from injury or destruction, keeping them in their natural condition. The Secretary may, at the Secretary's discretion, lease parcels of ground in the park for buildings to accommodate visitors, with the proceeds of those leases, and all other park revenue, spent under the Secretary's direction on managing the park and building roads and bridle paths. Through the neighboring Pacific National Forest lands, and into the park itself, rights-of-way are granted — under restrictions the Secretary sets — to railway or tramway companies to build, construct, and operate a railway or tramway line. The Secretary must protect against wanton destruction of the park's fish and game, and against catching or killing them for profit or merchandise. The Secretary must also have anyone trespassing in the park removed, and generally may take whatever measures are needed to fully carry out the purposes of sections 91, 92, and 93 of this title.
