Suntop Lookout — Sunday, Jun. 1, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Suntop Lookout by RLucido

What a gorgeous day for Suntop! We arrived to about 5 cars in the parking lot around noon. We went up the trail and it was in great condition. The bathroom at the top is open but currently not usable. There was feces smeared all over the toilet seat and no toilet paper inside. We went down the fire road, which was also in great condition. There were very tiny snow patches left in some of the shadows along the side that my dog greatly enjoyed. It will probably be totally melted in a couple of days. Can’t complain about such a clear trail this early in June!

I apologize, I just saw this comment. It wasn’t last weekend. I think it usually opens a little later in the season but I’m not sure when
