Arrived at the parking lot at 1 pm on a Wed and still plenty of space. Trailhead is located a short walk past the parking lot thru the campground loop.
We hiked to Glacier Basin and were alone at the top. Also did the 1 mile RT Emmons Moraine side trail - this is well worth it! Gorgeous views of the mountain & rivet, tons of wildflowers, overall a spectacular trail. Even though reservations to Mt Rainier NP were sold out, trail wasn’t at all crowded. Skip the visitor center and hike this trail!
A few bugs but not too bad - only noticed them when we stopped ( we were wearing big spray)
