Suntop Lookout — Sunday, Nov. 30, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410

The first two gates are open but the third is closed, so you will have to park at the lower parking area.  

There are a lot of potholes along the road, some are big.

You will encounter snow and ice at the last two miles of the road.  Unless you have good tires or all-wheel drive, you may want to reconsider this.

You can get to the lookout either by a trail or the road.  Both have snow and ice. The road is completely covered in snow and the trail is partially covered in snow.

Toilet facility is open.
