MLK Day Weekend

A storm cycle moving through the northwest over the MLK Day weekend will bring some much-needed powder to the slopes of Mount Rainier. The park was reopened to the public on the 6th of January following a terrible tragedy. Registration and climbing passes can be acquired at Paradise before heading out. Because there is no climbing ranger on-duty to help climbers through the registration process, please take a moment to read the registration rules here. Also, be prepared for severe winter weather. We offer a list of online resources here.

We hope you have a great holiday weekend - see you on the slopes!

Loss of a Friend

On New Year's Day Mount Rainier lost a friend. The climbing community's hearts and thoughts are with the Anderson family. The park will be closed at least through Friday, January 6th. Please see the national park's website for further details.
