I visited Seattle in 2019 and tried Rainier beer for the first time and fell in love with it. I wish I could have some shipped to Florida.

Why the gold tops gone ?

We were trying to go up to Paradise, and the rangers had closed off the road saying that the lot was full. So we parked at the bottom and were about to walk up when they opened it up and said they are sending some cars up. So we got back into our car and tried to go back up, but I think the ranger was upset because my wife told him that the way they are doing this ain’t fair. So, as soon as we got up to the ranger he stopped us and told us to go the other way again. So we turned around again and again as soon as we got up to the line the rangers stopped us and told us to go the other way. At this point I was sure that they were doing it on purpose. My wife ended up getting into an argument with them and they finally let us get up to paradise but they seriously ruined my mood. There was no need for them to do what they were doing. Just let people go up and they will come back down if there is no room. They were making the entire situation. Worse.

On the bright side, the park is beautiful.

Thank you in advance for any help. I really need advices and appreciate it.

With two older people and one teenager, all can't hike much, never been to west coast, me and my boyfriend want to take them to some famous sightseeing spots which are very easy to access, see the diversity and wild flowers in the national parks.

Which route I should take from Seattle to Port Angeles? The one in the north which has to use a ferry? Or go south which will pass the airport? We don't want to drive much, but also don't wanna miss the ferry if there is a high chance to miss it due to the crowd or schedule (don’t know if they run at later time of the day).

The second day, Saturday, go to hurricane ridge, lake crescent, Rialto beach, sol duc valley , stay the night at Fork.

The third day, Hoh rainforest, Ruby beach, drive to Mt Rainier area, spend the night at Ashford.

The forth day, spend whole day in Rainier(what is the best route for two days(not much hiking, just lookout or walking around for a short distance, I did research but still need help on the itinerary), then spend the night around Packwood (or Ashford? or do you recommend any other areas).

The fifth day, enter from Stevens canyon entrance, if stayed at packwood, tour rainier for most of the day(again, what is the best route for two day trip in Mt Rainier?) , and then in the late afternoon, drive to Seattle airport area, stay the night there to take the next day 10 am flight

Found a two way radio on the road near the sunrise entrance. It has a carabiner attached to it and was set to a channel (which I will ask you to confirm) if it is yours. Happy to ship it to the owner if they can claim it!

We went to Mount Rainier last Thursday and it was covered in smoke. We are considering going back tomorrow (Tuesday, 17th). Just wanted to know if the smoke has officially cleared.
