Mt. Rainier National Park reports

Currently Blooming

Many wildflowers are blooming along park roadsides, particularly along Stevens Canyon Road. The western half of the road near Reflection Lakes is dominated by avalanche lilies and rosy spirea. On the lower elevation eastern half of the road near Box Canyon, look for yellow monkeyflower and columbine, among others.

Meanwhile, subalpine meadows still have significant patches of snow cover.
