Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
During the summer, on a clear night when the Milky Way is out, and especially on a weekend, the Sunrise area is busy even at 11:00 p.m. (and later). You can see why. "The Mountain," blanketed overhead with stars against an inky sky, is every bit as incredible at night as it is during the day.
Tipsoo Lake with snowcapped Mount Rainier is the perfect spot for a sunrise, no matter what the season. During the spring, expect most of this alpine lake to still be covered in snow and ice.
