Mike_Gauthier Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 the word on the street (or maybe i should say "the word in the woods") is that the road to paradise will open 24/7 this monday. weather depending.?! bring on summer! there's still snow on the ground in longmire (2700 feet), it even dusted here last night...

jhamaker Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Finaly Paradise un-chained! Are either the White R Rd or the Stevens Canyon Rd *plowed* yet? How long after plowing do the gates open? Quote
Mike_Gauthier Posted May 3, 2002 Author Posted May 3, 2002 cayuse pass should also open this monday. chinook pass and the white river road usually open on the friday before memorial day weekend. stevens canyon will probably open that weekend too, but no word yet... i agree, "mount rainier unchained". i like that! ; ) Quote
Mike_Gauthier Posted May 6, 2002 Author Posted May 6, 2002 Update. the 24/7 road opening to paradise has been postponed due to the recent snowfall... i'll drop a note when i learn more. currently, it's snowing hard here at longmire. Quote
scott_harpell Posted May 8, 2002 Posted May 8, 2002 will it be open on saturday? if so when? thanks in advance.... Quote
Mike_Gauthier Posted May 9, 2002 Author Posted May 9, 2002 no word on when the road will open 24/7. it was closed again last evening... i'd like to guess on when it might, but, even i can't predict the logic of NPS road openings... no chains are required at this time, and unless there is a HUGE snowstorm, the road should open every morning around 8 am... when it does open 24/7, i'll post more information right away. mike Quote
scott_harpell Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 much thanks man were headed up there sat morning. Quote
Mike_Gauthier Posted May 10, 2002 Author Posted May 10, 2002 the road to paradise is open 24/7 again. fyi, the nps web site says that the white river road will open on may 17th. this may change to may 24th. heads up. Quote
