Glacier Basin — Thursday, Sep. 18, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > NE - Sunrise/White River

We arrived at the White River campground day use parking at 10 am - lots of parking spaces available.     The campground is still open, so the restrooms by the parking area are open as well.

The cool weather and shade along the Glacier Basin path make it a comfortable hike.    We stopped many times along the way to look at the waterfalls, few wildflowers still blooming, views of the mountain, rusted mining equipment, marmots, and a ptarmigan.
