Mount Rainier National Park is a U.S. National Park Service unit in WA (NPS unit code MORA), built around the glaciated 14,411-ft volcanic peak and the subalpine meadows at Paradise and Sunrise. The park recorded 1,635,342 recreation visits in 2025 and runs a 5-year mean of 1,644,420 annual visits. The busiest month is July and the quietest is February; winter visits run at roughly 4% of July's peak because Stevens Canyon and Sunrise roads close while Paradise shifts to a day-use schedule. No timed entry is required anywhere in 2026, though summer parking pressure remains. This page links the best-time and long-run visitation guides.
Designation, states, and coordinates come from the official NPS unit page. Annual visits and the busiest and quietest months are computed from the NPS Visitor Use Statistics Data Package, 2025 on NPS IRMA Stats. Each month's crowd label compares its five-year mean to the park's peak month. Independent site, not affiliated with the National Park Service.
