Sunrise Visitor Center at Mt. Rainier
Sunrise, Mt. Rainier National Park, Sunrise Visitor Center, Mt. Rainier,sponsor
Extending off the northeast flank of Mt. Rainier is spectacular Sunrise Ridge, the highest point in the Park to which visitors can drive. Clear days offer views of five neighboring volcanoes.
Sitting at an elevation of 6,400-feet, Sunrise offers Mount Rainier's highest visitor center. With close-up views of the massive Emmons Glacier, Sunrise rivals the more popular Paradise when it comes to scenic splendor. Situated in the park's drier northeastern corner (thanks to Mount Rainier's rain-shadow effect), Sunrise as the name suggests is also one of the first places in the park to capture morning's early light.
The national park service maintains an excellent visitor center here complete with exhibits on Rainier's geology and the park's natural and cultural history. The center also offers book sales and free ranger hosted programs and guided walks. And at the center you can also use one of several mounted telescopes to take in close-up views of Rainier's impressive glaciers.
