Mt Rainier Updates - June 6th, 2011

Some notes from Mt Rainier National Park, as summertime nears:

The Mt Rainier Climbing Blog reports an increase in climbers and routes in use now that the weather is getting nicer.
Turning to roads and passes, Chinook Pass is still closed, the only one in Washington State thats still closed. Major roads in the park still closed are Mowich Lake and Sunrise Road, which will open later in the month. The full road report for the park can be found here.
There's a few updates on the Backcountry Conditions page, but not a lot, given the lingering snowpack this year. New reports are available for trails in the Longmire area: Comet Falls, Kautz Creek Trail, and the Rampart Ridge Trail have updates. The full report and details are on the Conditions page.
