How to get to Mount Rainier National Park
The Nisqually Entrance in the southwest is about a 2 to 2.5 hour drive from Seattle and Tacoma via SR 706, and serves as the main year-round gateway to Longmire and Paradise. Paradise is located just south of Mount Rainier and is 19 miles (30 kilometers) east of the Nisqually Entrance. RVers approaching from the east or north use SR 410 over Chinook Pass or SR 123 over Cayuse Pass, both steep, winding mountain highways that are closed in winter and can be tight for long rigs. All vehicles in the park are required to carry tire chains November 1 to May 1. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is the closest major airport for fly-and-rent trips.
