Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
Travelers who enter Mount Rainier National Park via Chinook Pass (SR 410) will get a grand view of "The Mountain" as it towers over Tipsoo Lake. Watching the sunrise at this spot is truly unforgettable and a popular place for photography.
There's a quote by John Muir etched into the steps leading up to the network of trails in the Paradise area of Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State: "...The most luxuriant and the most extravagantly beautiful of all the alpine gardens I ever beheld in all my mountain-top wanderings." Muir must have seen this spot in the late spring or early summer, when the wildflowers were beginning to reach their peak. Do you think he ever saw this spot in the autumn as well, when the huckleberry bushes turned shades of brilliant red and orange?
