Mt. Rainier Snowshoe - Paradise to Muir Snowfield Via Glacier Vista, Panorama Point, The Sugarloaf

May 7, 2017

Snowshoeing at Mt. Rainier! The mountain's still got tons of snow as of early May, 2017. The weather was perfect....sunny and warm. There were lots of skiers enjoying spring skiing, too. This is an epic adventure snowshoeing from Paradise to Muir Snowfield via Glacier Vista, Panorama Point, Pebble Creek and the Sugarloaf. Enjoy this amazing winter wonderland in spring and spectacular views of Mt. Rainier and other Cascades peaks including Tatoosh range, Mt. Adams, Mount St. Helens and Mt. Hood and beyond.

The snow condition was excellent though it got a little slushy due to the warm weather. The road to Paradise is clear (required to carry chains) and the gates are open 24/7 now. Check weather and avalanche conditions before you head up there. If you are not familiar with Mt. Rainier, contact Mr. Rainier National Park for information.
