High Hut, Snow Bowl Hut Snowshoe & Yurt Snowshoe — Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise

DANGEROUSLY ICY ROAD. I will add a better review tomorrow, but wanted to share this as a PSA. I slid into a ditch in my SUV despite All Wheel Drive, Rear Snow Chains, and driving 3 mph. We were lucky to be rescued by kind locals. At least four other cars ended up in the ditch while we were there.

4 chains are absolutely necessary. You can rent them near the trail road at Whittaker Mountaineering.

But hey, the trail was beautiful and Frank enjoyed it. 

Did you find this trip report helpful?
