Two views from Mount Rainier National Park (View from Sunrise on July 15 and this morning).

This National Park Service web camera image shows a normal summer day in Mount Rainier National Park: Well-developed white clouds in a pretty blue sky over green meadows, trees, and mountain slopes, a flag on a flagpole, numerous vehicles in a parking lot, and a uniformed ranger setting up an interpretive display near the buildings of the Sunrise Visitor Center (center foreground). Trees and plants dot the scene from left to right bordering the walkways, buildings, and parking area. Image from July 15, 2026. This National Park Service web camera image provides a look at the Sunrise Visitor Center area in Mount Rainier National Park as crews prepare the area in response to a nearby wildfire. The fire is approximately three miles north of the visitor center. Fuels reduction efforts are underway. Trees and plants have been removed from areas around the buildings. The parking lot is now a staging area for crews responding to the fire. The flagpole appears in the center foreground but this time without flag and surrounding vegetation. Some haze appears in the scene. The Sunrise Lodge, built in 1931 (and a key component of the Sunrise Historic District), can be seen on the left (middle ground just off the parking area). Image from August 13, 2026.

Sourdough Ridge Trail at Mount Rainier National Park.

I love how the trail leads you straight toward Rainier while the sweeping clouds add movement across the sky. Scenes like this make it hard not to keep walking just a little farther.

Would you stop here for the view or keep hiking?

A dirt hiking trail curves along an alpine hillside toward snow-covered Mount Rainier. Weathered wooden benches line the right side beneath evergreens, while long, wispy clouds sweep dramatically across a pale blue sky. The scene feels open, quiet, and inviting.
