    I was planning a trip to Mt Rainier this weekend - given the good
    weather forecast. Is it "too early" to go there ? Any suggestions would
    be appreciated.
    
    Is there a web site where one can get directions to rainier and areas
    to visit ?

    Hope you didn't go!
    
    The end of May is unofficial opening of the high hiking season.  Before
    then, you can drive to Paradise but not much of anywhere else in MRNP.
    Reason:  snow snow snow.  This year has been particularly bad.  The
    area around Paradise gets approximately 20 FEET of snow over the
    winter.  I've been on the north side (Sunrise) at the end of June and
    there was still about 6 inches of snow on the ground.

    I didn't. People warned me about this. We wanted to see the wild
    flowers and it turns out that they don't show up till late July.
