A message from Mt. Rainier National Park, October 3, 2012:
Warm sunny days, mild temperatures and cool nights are ushering in the Fall
colors at Mount Rainier for visitors to enjoy. For the Mount Rainier staff
that means it is time to begin the annual winterization of seasonal areas
(Sunrise, White River, Ohanapecosh, Box Canyon) before the winter snows
begin. With the upcoming Columbus Day holiday on October 8, that process
is getting underway.

At Paradise, the Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center, Paradise Camp Deli and
Gift Shop will transition to their winter schedule opening on weekends and
holidays only. Visitor Center hours will be 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The
historic Paradise Inn closed for the season on October 1.
The National Park Inn and General Store and the Longmire Museum are open
daily throughout the year, providing overnight accommodations, dining,
gifts, and visitor information. A great weekday or weekend getaway to
enjoy some quiet time. To make reservations at the National Park Inn call
360-569-2275, or go online to www.mtrainierguestservices.com.

this time of the year. Be prepared for inclement weather or possible ice
and snow on park roads.
Effective November 1, all vehicles (including 4-wheel and all-wheel-drive)
