Get around Mount Rainier National Park
A car is almost essential in order to see the park. Within the park are 147 miles of roads and 240 miles of maintained trails that travel to each of the park's five main areas:
Longmire (southwest corner).
Paradise (south side).
Ohanapecosh (southeast corner).
Sunrise/White River (east side).
Carbon River/Mowich Lake (northwest corner).
Parking can be difficult or impossible to find on sunny summer weekends at Paradise, Sunrise, Grove of the Patriarchs, and at trailheads between Longmire and Paradise. Try to visit these areas on weekdays, arrive early in the day, and carpool to the park. Parking is not permitted along road edges. Park roads are winding and road shoulders are narrow. The maximum speed limit is 35 mph in most areas. Allow plenty of travel time during your visit.
