Mt Rainier on May, Daytrip - Is this feasible?
Hi! Next year May 2, 2027 - We’ll be disembarking Norwegian Cruise by 7AM, let’s say we’ll be done by 9:00AM.
We want to go to Mt. Rainier after, is that too late? We plan to rent a car from the Airport or whatever is near in Pier 66.
How it goes;
7-9AM : Disembark NCL
9-10AM: Time allotted to get rental car and stuff
10:30AM: Drive to Paradise center ?
12:30 NN: Arrive Mt Rainier Entrance by this time
6PM: Go back
Is this enough time? is 10:30am departure to Paradise too late already?
I have no idea how much time we should allot for this daytrip to Mt. Rainier. Just to share, we won’t be hiking the mountain, we saw we can opt to experience the trail instead, the falls, etc.
Is May 2 a good weather to go there?
