Stephen_Ramsey Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I called the NPS to ask about this on Friday... I was told that the road from Longmire to Paradise is now open 24/7 (obviously, weather permitting). I don't know if the Paradise Ranger station is staffed, though.

Stephen_Ramsey Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi Airmoss, My wife and I were up on Lane Peak on Sunday, also. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 When we visited Rainier a few weeks ago, we were told that the ranger station would be staffed periodically up until June I believe it was- so it's probably hit or miss. There was a ranger there on one of the days we were there. Don't take my word for it though- why don't you just call and find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 lazy...shit, i finally bothered to look back and check this thread. so i suppose rangers are people, though i haven't seen one bleed to be certain no worries on rangers not being around at paradise, really...i usually reckon that means i can climb for free, so i suppose i prefer it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpine_Tom Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 no worries on rangers not being around at paradise, really...i usually reckon that means i can climb for free, so i suppose i prefer it As long as you don't spend the night in the Muir hut. Technically, you're supposed to "self-register" if no one's there. Not that I care, but it'd cast a pall on the climb to get hit with a ticket by a climbing ranger at Muir or somewhere. What is the fine, $200 or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
