What to expect

Honest take: June is not the month for Mount Rainier. Prime time. Sunrise Road opens in early July, trails melt out, and subalpine wildflowers usually peak from late July to mid-August.

Local tip

Clouds hide the mountain on many days. Check the Paradise webcam before you drive up, and go on a weekday in August for the best mix of flowers and space.

Good to know

  • Best months overall: Jul–Sep.
  • Closest airport: Seattle–Tacoma (SEA), about 2 hours.
  • Before you go: The park has used timed-entry reservations for the Paradise and Sunrise corridors in recent summers. Check the current season's rules before you go. Check current conditions on nps.gov.
