Park Web Cameras

Is the Mountain out? What's the weather like at Paradise? Take a look at our live MountainCam to find out! Then, from the Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center, look toward the east and west, or get a view of the visitor center itself. Look south to see the Tatoosh Range from the Tatoosh Range Webcam, and check the air quality camera monitoring the visibility over the Nisqually Valley. Want to see the view from the mountain? Check out the Camp Muir webcam. Or go further down the mountain and see what it's like at Longmire.

Additional information can be found on our weather page, including the current weather forecast.

Ride the Paradise Shuttle!

Why worry about traffic and trying to find parking? Ride the shuttle to Paradise instead! From June 24 through September 4, 2011, you can ride the weekend shuttle to Paradise, with an option to begin outside the park in Ashford, Washington or inside the park at Longmire and Cougar Rock. By riding the shuttle, you will also help Mount Rainier reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and consequently aide in protecting the park's natural and cultural resources.
