Hopefully this will help parking on the trailheads.

What could go wrong?

Okay, done I was wrong, I didn't look closely enough at the Photo. Thought it was 410 entrance and made myself a fool. Have fun gloating won't be the first time I was wrong won't be the last. Live it up.

So now I have to worry about brown bears on my hikes

As a hunter it will be interesting to see how everyone else reacts. I expect the state to take the identification tests even more seriously now

It's not. There are multiple entrances to MRNP, but this sign is from the Nisqually Entrance, which is the most popular. It's the one leading in from Ashford, and goes up to Paradise.

What you're talking about is the 410 entrance that leads to Sunrise. The sign is different.

Where you're referring to is also closed right now, as it is every winter.

It's ok to realize you made a mistake. It's not really a big deal. I just thought it was funny that you replied confidently incorrect, when you were confidently incorrect. Just found it amusing.

Personally not looking forward to this. I enjoy only watching my back for cougars. Don’t want to also be looking out for grizzlies.

This is the Nisqually entrance, not the White River entrance.

Great to see this! I believe theirs 50 in the state, some are in the north cascades already and I believe some are in the Far East of the state. Stuff like this gives me hope for the west which I deeply treasure. A big problem is that there’s way too many people in the mountains from the cities so I would definitely expect some conflict. Wouldn’t be suprised if they made their way down south in the next 10 to 15 years. Or they could head east. But again, makes me very happy to see them in the state again. North Cascades is the best habitat for them.

My house 🤣 but Copper Creek is a close second

Dude... crystal mountain is literally 20 mins from that sign in the photo.

OP posts photo shoot Mt Rainier, literally saying My Rainier, and you think everyone should understand than "The mountain" would mean something else?

Crystal Mountain is 100 miles and over 2 hours away from OPs location. Would be a little quicker if Chinook Pass want closed.

You're doing a lot of backpedaling here, rather than just saying "my bad, I meant crystal Mountain". This whole thread is about My Rainier, and the Nisqually entrance. Paradise only means one thing in this context. What your trying to say here is the same as saying you're in DC and want to go to the white house, but you actually mean a white house in a different neighborhood somewhere.

Usuallyvits for no reason too. Could be a random disabled car on the shoulder with hazards on, and you'd think with the way cars are stopped, that a giant sink hole opened up at DuPont and is nom nom-ing its way through I-5.

Copper Creek Inn for sure. If you leave on the way back and they’re still open, get a marionberry pie to take home. The place is my regular stop after a day at the park, purely for the pie.

You should also check out Recycled Spirits of Iron Sculpture Park. It's on the way to Ashford.

He’s a master of cantering and dressage for everyone

Gee .. now I want some blackberry pancakes.. and it's all OP's fault. lol

It’s good

Get a Copper topper… yuuuum

Came to say this. Between Yakima and Ellensburg you can see a lot of basalt layering. The Yakima canyon is beautiful.

It's knowing the right keywords like Ashford and not rainier but yes, usually the most concise keywords

Okay buddy. Have a nice day 👍 you can totally fuck right off, but have a nice day.

Here's humility for you, sometimes people type how they are thinking and it makes sense to them in the moment, not caring to take the time to provide explicit concise instruction unless the interest is shown. Then there's assholes like you that just love to come in and assume everything you can and insult others to feel superior over another person.

Nah, you were mistaken and now you're backpedaling.

You're not into the whole humility thing, huh? That's cool.
