Mount Rainier National Park National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior The official newspaper Summer Visitor Guide 2025 Tahoma News NPS Sunrise Corridor Timed Entry Reservations MOUNT RAINIER N AT I O N A L PA R K Sunrise Corridor timed entry The land administered as Mount Rainier National Park has been since time immemorial the Ancestral homeland of the Cowlitz, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Puyallup, Squaxin Island, Yakama, and Coast Salish people. By following Elders’ instructions passed through generations, these Indigenous Peoples remain dedicated caretakers of this landscape. Their Traditional Knowledge and Management of this Sacred Land will endure in perpetuity, and we honor each nation’s traditions of landscape stewardship in our endeavors to care for, protect, and preserve the features and values of the mountain. 410 165 Sunrise White River Entrance 410 Navigating Summer Construction at Mount Rainier, PAGES 6-7 NPS Paradise 706 123 Stevens Canyon Entrance Longmire Stay Safe Nisqually Entrance Mount Rainier National Park is piloting the second year of a timed entry reservation system for most private vehicles accessing the Sunrise Corridor. Reservations are not required in 2025 for the Paradise Corridor due to major construction projects and closures in the park. The reservation system is designed to shorten wait times for visitors entering the corridor by car and reduce roadway congestion and parking issues. The system lessens foot traffic along narrow trails, preventing damage to plants. Timed entry disperses visitors evenly throughout the day and across the park. The pilot will continue to inform management options for a possible longer-term system. To enter the Sunrise Corridor you will need both a timed entry reservation ($2 fee) and a standard park pass. Timed entry reservations are required for the Sunrise Corridor: • July 11 – Sept 1, 7 am - 5 pm, daily • Sept 2 – end of season (approx. mid-Oct), 7 am - 5 pm, weekends & holidays only Timed entry reservations are not required to enter the Sunrise Corridor if you: • Enter before 7 am or after 5 pm • Enter weekdays Sept. 2 - end of season (approx. mid-Oct.) • Enter on foot or by bicycle • Have a wilderness, commercial, research, or special use permit Where can you visit without a reservation? • Paradise, Longmire, and Stevens Canyon on the south side of the park • Trails and destinations along SR 410 and SR 123 on the east side of the park • Tipsoo Lake on the eastern border of the park along SR 410 Make a timed entry reservation.

Here are some ideas to help you get the most out of your visit. People walk on the paved trail at Paradise. A Full Day • Hike into the Tatoosh Range for excellent views of the mountain. Hardy hikers can try the Eagle Peak or Pinnacle Peak trails. • Visit Reflection Lakes for amazing views of the mountain that may be reflecting in the shoreline, or, for a moderate hike, try Bench and Snow lakes. Picnic a short drive away at Narada Falls, restrooms available. • Spend the day hiking the trails through subalpine meadows at Sunrise or Paradise. • Bike the Westside Trail. Lock your bike at the Lake George trailhead to combine with a short hike to the lake. • Hike a section of the 93-mile Wonderland Trail that encircles the mountain. Many people hike this trail in sections. If you have two cars, you can park one at each trailhead to hike from Sunrise to White River, or Longmire to Reflection Lakes. A Half Day • Drive to Sunrise for a picnic, a short hike to Emmons Vista, and outstanding mountain and glacier views. Download the NPS App (cell service available at White River Entrance parking) to listen to the Sunrise Road Geology Audio Tour along the way. Accessibility in the Park Mount Rainier National Park has identified and is working toward removing barriers to accessibility. Some of the historic buildings lack accessible features. The park website Accessibility pages have detailed information on what to expect in each area of the park. There are no fully accessible trails in the park. Service animals are allowed on trails and in park facilities if they are providing a service for a person with a disability. Service dogs in-training and emotional support animals are considered pets under ADA and not allowed on trails. Borrow a Braille Park Map at park visitor centers. Relief map models in Sunrise and Paradise visitor centers and the Longmire Wilderness Information Center have Braille text and tactile features. Borrow a manual wheelchair at Sunrise and Paradise visitor centers with a photo ID. Wheelchairs may be used in the immediate area of the visitor center where they are borrowed. Audio Described exhibits are available at the Sunrise and Paradise visitor centers. Ask for a receiver or use the NPS App on your device. Audio description of outdoor exhibits and the Longmire Service Station Exhibit is also on the NPS App. UniDescription App translates the park map into acoustic media, designed for people who are blind, visually impaired, print dyslexic, or who prefer learning through sound. Download the NPS App Search for Mount Rainier National Park and download content for offline use of accessibility features like audio description.

This information will help you learn more about the park, and protect yourself and the park. Protect the Meadows. Stay on trails. Do not pick or trample wildflowers. Permits Permits are required for all overnight stays in the wilderness, and for traveling on glaciers and above 10,000 feet in elevation. NPS Camping Camp in designated campsites only. Sleeping in vehicles is not permitted in the park unless you are in a designated campsite. Wildlife Safety Stay safe when watching wildlife by giving animals room. Keep a minimum distance of 25 yards from most wildlife and 100 yards from predators like bears. Do not feed any wild animals in the park, including marmots, ground squirrels, chipmunks or birds.

Advance reservations are available for peak season (JuneSeptember) on Recreation.gov. Keep wildlife wild. Do not feed animals in the park. NPS Climbing Each year, approximately 10,000 people attempt to climb Mount Rainier. Nearly half reach the 14,410-foot summit.

JASMINE HORN PHOTO JD HASCUP PHOTO Longmire Paradise Stevens Canyon Deep in the valley of the Nisqually River, the village of Longmire preserves the history of the park’s first settlement and headquarters. The Longmire Museum is the starting point for the self-guided walking tour of the Longmire Historic District, where you can get a taste of early National Park Service rustic architecture. Besides glaciers and streams, this area is rich in history, and has breathtaking vistas and stunning wildflowers. Avoid crowds and traffic by visiting early or late in the day, or mid-week. Come prepared for changing weather conditions: dress in layers and wear hiking shoes. Bring lots of water and sunscreen. A trip through Stevens Canyon, in the southeast area of the park, offers dramatic views formed by fire and ice. During the summer, watch for brightly colored wildflowers along the roads and cliffs. Later in the year, enjoy the magnificent fall colors of huckleberry, vine maple, and mountain ash. A network of hiking trails access views of Mount Rainier and its glaciers, and routes for skilled climbers attempting to reach the mountain’s summit. Stop in a pullout for a view of Martha Falls plunging 125 feet over an andesite cliff. Follow the Trail of the Shadows to learn about the park’s first homestead and resort, and the Longmire Meadow mineral springs. Between Longmire and Nisqually Entrance, walk the Twin Firs Trail to view lowland old-growth forest; picnic at Kautz Creek and view the aftermath of the 1947 mudflow; or drive to Westside Road to see the dramatic results of flooding and rockfall. 4 | Mount Rainier National Park | Summer 2025 Photographers appreciate the high-country scenery at Inspiration Point and Reflection Lakes.

Consider Nisqually Vista or Myrtle Falls for young hikers, or Alta Vista or Glacier Vista for the more ambitious. Day hike the Wonderland Trail from Reflection Lakes downhill to Box Canyon. Take time to enjoy the beauty of Reflection Lakes with its colorful subalpine wildflower-lined shores.
