Mount Rainier National Park Timed Entry Reservations
The National Park Service continues to review Mount Rainier National Park's vehicle reservation program to determine whether to continue or adjust it in future years. We will update the public once a decision for the 2026 season has been made.
Mount Rainier National Park is in west-central Washington, on the western slope of the Cascade Range, and encompasses 236,381 acres. Ascending to 14,410 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier stands as an icon in the Washington landscape. An active volcano, Mount Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S.A., spawning five major rivers.
Since 2013, Mount Rainier National Park has consistently welcomed between 1.1 and 1.7 million visitors each year, with the most visits occurring during the summer months between June and September. Concentrated use leads to roadway congestion and crowding within the most visited areas of the park, including Sunrise Corridor.
