Visiting May 25-31
Hey everyone!
I'm planning a trip to Mt. Rainier/Olympic and possibly Mount Saint Helens at the end of May. I visited in August 2024 and loved it. I understand it's a totally different season to see the park in, but it's the time I have off.
I have been researching the weather/conditions at the park for that time of year. Realistically, how accessible is the portion of the park that is currently open (Slightly past Paradise)? I did a lot of hiking last time, but understand Skyline is still pretty snow-covered as of today. Are there other portions of the park that you would recommend during this time? I love Mount Rainier and am looking forward to just seeing it again.
I am trying to look at the park conditions, road closures, and webcams. It just helps to hear from someone who has visited during that time frame. Thank you!
