Paradise is open year-round, but this orientation guide is designed for the summer season when trails are snow-free. In spring and fall, there may be patches of snow covering sections of trail. Please stay on trails, even if it means crossing snow, to avoid trampling delicate meadow plants. Pets are not allowed on trails.

• Skyline Trail is oriented north to south, with the uphill trail heading north in the direction of Mount Rainier.
• Deadhorse Creek goes downhill to the southwest, connecting to the Jackson Visitor Center and the upper Paradise parking lot.
