Via Mount Rainier National Park news release:
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.
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.
No reservations are required for entry before 7 a.m. or after 3 p.m.
Somewhat a local news item, but it just shows that the interest in the outdoors is not waning and parks need to find better ways to deal with the crowd than just restricting access. Being in the outdoors is great. We need more place for folks to access and enjoy them.
And a reminder to wake up early and just be there before 7am… I guess.
