New changes coming to Mount Rainier National Park. What do you think about the reservation system?

Many Mount Rainier National Park visitors will need reservations in summer 2024, News Release: https://go.nps.gov/TimedEntryNews-11724

Mount Rainier National Park visitors will need a reservation to enter the park through the Nisqually, Stevens Canyon and Sunrise/White River entrance stations during peak hours during Summer 2024.

“In recent years, it’s been too common for visitors to sit in idling cars for a couple of hours at the entrance stations and then make laps through the parking lots hoping for an empty parking space,” said Superintendent Greg Dudgeon. “We are testing a system that will spread visitation out throughout the day and season to reduce crowding.”

Park visitors will need a reservation between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.:
- Enter the Paradise Corridor from either the Nisqually Entrance via State Route 706 or Stevens Canyon Entrance via State Route 123 May 24 through Sept. 2.
- Enter the Sunrise Corridor at the White River Entrance via State Route 410 July 3 through Sept. 2.

Reservations can be made using Recreation.gov or by calling 877-444-6777. Dates through July will be available on Recreation.gov beginning Feb. 21, 2024, for the Paradise Corridor and April 1, 2024, for the Sunrise Corridor. Reservations for dates in August through Labor Day will open on May 1. In addition to the reservations available up to three months ahead, a block of reservations will be released each day through the summer at 7 p.m. for use the following day.

Each reservation is for one personal vehicle and will cost $2. The reservation will provide a two-hour entry window. For instance, visitors with a 9 a.m. reservation could enter the park between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. There is no required departure time...

💘 Happy Valentine's Day 💘

Roses are red, pasqueflowers are white, their seedheads are hairy, such a delight!

Happy Valentine’s Day to all! We hope you’ve enjoyed today’s Valentine greetings.

Pasqueflowers grow in subalpine meadows in the park. After they’ve bloomed, their wild and wonderful seedheads, sometimes called "mouse-on-a-stick", can be easily identified by their silky hairdos.
