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.
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.
