Repairs have made the national park in Washington state accessible again. But winter storms have left it a more primitive -- and dangerous -- place. Last fall's torrential rain, 18 inches in 36 hours, washed away bridges and roads, obliterated hiking trails and destroyed campgrounds. The damage is estimated at $36 million.
