Sunrise, Rainier


Sunrise offers summer-only access to a viewpoint at 6400ft on Mt Rainier.  There were plans for a grand hotel in the 1930s, but the park gained control of the development and the buildings there only serve as a visitors center today.

The Emmons Glacier is visible here, and offers one of the possible routes for climbing to the summit.
