A few pieces of news as the season begins to wind down:

Mt Rainier will transition to winter hours after Monday the 8th: Cougar Rock campground will close and the Paradise Visitor Center will only be open weekends and holidays and for shorter hours. The full list of closings can be found in the news release.
Also at Rainier, the Camp Muir web cam is back up, although only until the end of October.
The WTA has announced the start of a new trail in the Ape Cave area; it's expected to be completed late in summer '13.
And some older news as Biking Bis alerts bike riders that a new route around Crescent Lake, a biking nightmare on the Olympic Peninsula. The downside is there is no funding yet, but it's another piece of the much-anticipated Olympic Discovery Trail.
