A busy summer Saturday night at Sunrise, Mount Rainier National Park

Mount Rainier at night, with stars and the Milky Way in view and a very busy parking lot with people on the trails, Mount Rainier National Park

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.
