The Seattle PI and Yakima Herald recently ran stories on the Park Service's progress to repair damage at Mount Rainier caused by last fall's storms. The good news is the Park Service hopes to open to the Nisqually road May 1st. The Park Service also has set dates for the reopening of other park features and facilities such as Mowich Lake and Sunrise roads, as well as the White River campground.On the other hand, roads such as Highway 123 and parts of the Stevens Canyon road may not be open this year, making access to the Mountain from the east side difficult.
The NPS has posted its latest update on road and trail repairs here.
