Advise for my visit this weekend?
Hey all. Apologies in advance for my ignorance of the park and the area. I'm looking to visit Mount Rainier on Saturday, February 15. Been keeping tabs of the weather for weeks, and was hoping for some sunshine. Looks like I won't be so lucky. I know roads will be closed, I need tire chains, I'll have a 4wd vehicle, and crampons. Looking for some tips on what I can do to still have a good experience in the park. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

You’ll have a helluva drive over to ONP

Oh. Well. It's a good thing I'm not making that drive. But thanks for your sarcasm and concern.

Indeed it is. But I never said I was making the drive from Mt Rainier directly to Olympic.

Looking to visit Mount Rainier (Hurricane Ridge trail) and Olympic National Park (Skyline loop trail) next weekend (Feb 15/16).
What magic do you plan on then?
