Mount Rainier Passes
Every Mount Rainier wilderness-permit entry point on recreation.gov - AllTrails ratings, demand scores, and a trailhead map.
Mount Rainier National Park surrounds the glaciated volcano that dominates the Washington skyline, with the Wonderland Trail circling its base and dozens of trailside, alpine, and cross-country camps in between. A wilderness camping permit is required for overnight backcountry trips, covering the specific camps or zones on your itinerary. Popular Wonderland camps and summer weekends sell out quickly, so competitive dates are hard to land.
