Grand reopenings in WA

King County has moved into modified phase 1, which I think was the trigger for a bunch of reopenings.

As noted by Frank, Paradise & White River access on Rainier opened today with plans for the high elevations to open soon:

Also, we've got Chinook and Cayuse passes now fully open:

Mt Adams is finally issuing summit permits:

North Cascades is still only open for day use, but check for updates here:

Most of the National Forest lands that I'm aware of are fully accessible, including ski areas for whatever scraps of snow are left.

Now we wait on the weather. See you out there and stay safe.....

Climbing on Mt. Rainier will reopen June 19th.
Here is a substantive list of temporary use restrictions:
    Climbing party size limited to 6 climbers
    Camp Muir: 36 overnight non-guided users
    Ingraham Flats: 12 overnight non-guided users
    Muir Snowfield: 0 overnight users
    Camp Schurman: 12 overnight non-guided users
    Emmons Flats: 12 overnight non-guided users
    All other wilderness zone camping quotas are normal with a max party size of 6
    The Public Shelter at Camp Muir is CLOSED for visitor use and for emergency-use only

Those coming from eastern WA will have to use Skate Creek Rd (#52) and Nisqually Entrance, since Stevens Canyon Road remains closed by damage.  It is open as far as Snow Lake trailhead from the Paradise road.

Thanks for the link to the climbing blog post. It's worth reading the whole thing if you're thinking of a summit attempt. There is a good discussion of how the climbing will likely be mode difficult this year on the DC without as much guided activity. 

Also, a notable change is there will be no walk-up camping or climbing permits. These must all be by reservation 2 days in advance. 

Instead of being free (once you've paid to enter the Park) this adds a $20 cost. Annoying.
